Re: June 27, 2010 bus service cuts.

Posted by Osmosis Jones on Wed Jul 1 22:53:40 2020, in response to June 27, 2010 bus service cuts., posted by Chicago44 on Sun Jun 28 10:41:36 2020.

One thing I'll give the MTA credit for regarding those cuts is this, those cuts saved the B69 big time.

When the B69 operated down Prospect Park West/8th Avenue, it carried air outside of school hours, I'd say carrying even less riders than the B75, which got eliminated as a part of those cuts. When it got rerouted to the busier and more commercialized 7th Avenue though, it made a lot of sense and breathed new life into the route, even prompting the MTA to restore weekend service a few years later. The only thing that they still haven't gotten right however is continuing to run it to DUMBO instead of Williamsburg Bridge Plaza. I guarantee that if they did that then ridership would increase significantly.
