The M10/20 should be restored to its overlap pattern between 66th Street and Penn Station. Makes both more useful and ends an inconvenient transfer at 59th Street for those who use both.As far as the M5 is concerned the comment is correct - it's a ridiculously long route, longest in Manhattan. Don't have statistics on its reliability. Would make more sense to send the M7 south from 14th Street on the old M6 route. It's still a long route, north terminal 147th Street, about 1 and 1/2 miles shorter than the M5. |

As a certain Ralph the bus driver said, "har har hardy har har!Seriously, almost sounds like a good idea but one problem is that Bx7 frequencies don't match the M5 at certain times. Would certainly be the longest transit bus route in NYC in terms of route length and probably travel time as well. Could easily be 2 1/2 hours for one trip, and that would create problems in terms of relief stops and reliability. |

(Actually, probably even more than that. The Bx7 is a good hour, and the M5 is over 2 hours, so the combined route would be around 3 hours, assuming relatively normal traffic). |

I have a MABSTOA book that lists the southern M10 roll sign destinations:10 to CORTLANDT ST 10 TO CANAL ST 10 TO WEST HOUSTON ST 10 TO ABINGDON SQ 10 TO 32 ST |

According to the published timetable, M5 trips range from 110 - 122 minutes in length, even if limited stops. So combining with BX7 is just too long a route. |

And let's remember, the two former Broadway routes only used Broadway to go southbound. Going uptown, the M6 used Sixth Avenue and the M7 still does. So even though Broadway is a pedestrian plaza now, those riders still exist. They just have to walk to Fifth or Seventh Avenue to get a downtown bus, now. |
