IIRC the Hyshits and some RTS' came from Fresh Pond, with even more RTS' coming from Flatbush. What I wish would happen is some Orion V diesel action in Brooklyn (sorry to all of those sick of seeing this same rant, they're just my favorite buses).

The routes I've seen Grand Avenue operating are the B43, B48, B57, B61 (although they do a horrible job operating the now seemingly unreliable B61 due to them not doing the obvious and jotting down routing information). Other routes I recall they're operating are the B15, B24, B39, B47, B51 (still belongs at Jackie Gleason), B60, and Q59.

I honestly do not know why they took the B61 unless peak direction in the AM is south and in the PM it's north. Jackie Gleason is closer to the B61's Red Hook terminal by almost a mile (when compared to the distance between Grand Avenue and Queens Plaza) and is a faster deadhead being 10 minutes as opposed to 14 minutes between Grand Avenue and Queens Plaza. Same goes for the B43.
