The new BM4 Saturday service |
|
|
Posted by New Flyer #857 on Sun Jul 8 08:54:37 2007 A report with opinions (the BM4 on Saturday):The old schedule was 8AM, 11AM, 3:30PM from Gerritsen Beach, 3 buses for the day. The new schedule is every hour 7AM to 6PM from Gerritsen Beach. I rode two of the new runs. I took the 10AM from Gerr Bch. Nobody else aboard but the driver all the way to Church and E 7th, where two women got on and they got off first stop Downtown (Exchange Place). I went to Midtown. Of course those two women did not NEED the BM4 as they had other options. But as for those who would have more of a dependency on it (south of Ave K), there was nobody. Coming back, I took the 4:30PM from Midtown. A couple, perhaps sixties (I'm a terrible judge of age), was aboard but that was it. Downtown at Peck Slip we picked up about four who were traveling together. They got off at Cortelyou so they were not so dependent on the BM4. The older couple was talking to the driver, saying that they usually take the "3," I think meaning the BM3, but the "4" was good too, if not better. They seemed somewhat happy to be on a BM4 but did not seem like it made a big deal. Obviously the data is limited to where I happened to be at what time and when it was convenient for me to take a ride (you need a good book to read after a while), but do you think the new runs are justified? |
