The B46 and B47 operate a half mile apart and have good service. The B7 operates between those two routes with infrequent service and low ridership. Service on other parts of the route can be picked up by other routes.Anyone can make plans by throwing on additional levels of service and causing major operating expense increases. The difficult part is to try to find something to eliminate by only causing minor inconvenience to minimize extra expenses. The only times the B7 is heavily utilized is by school students from Tilden High School if that is what it is still called. Special buses could still operate to serve the school perhaps going off-route, but regular service on this portion of the B7 isn’t necessary. I used the same strategy in 1978, by eliminating a portion of the B1 along Avenue X between Ocean Parkway and East 14 St. That service was not missed, and many more were helped than hurt by those changes which should be the goal of any route restructuring. It is never possible to please everyone. The old 1978 B1 partial elimination only received one written complaint. |
