Put a question mark at the end of your subject line if you're asking a question. People seeing your post think you're giving information, not asking for it. This is not the first time this has been suggested to you. News on the Bronx to LaGuardia Airport route? |

The proposal seems to have been quietly dropped a few years ago. I don't think there's been any mention of it from the MTA in about the last three years, which presumably means they decided against implementing it. Probably not enough demand, and they figured people who did want it could ride the subway or the Bx15 to 125th St. and get the M60. But it would be nice if there were some official statement on the matter. |

Joe's theory: Dad brought me on the Bronx-to-Astoria bus sometime when the Bronx entrance to the Triboro was a mere ramp, maybe off East 133rd Street, and the bus loaded on the curb of the ramp. That route was always low-patronage, and I don't think even a combination with a Webster SBS will draw the customers away from the 2,4,5,6 to 125th St and M60.-- In theory, a Bronx-to-Astoria route looked smart, but something never quite drew the patronage. It is a bit like running a bus from Tottenville to South Amboy, filling in a bad gap in mass transit. The ferry had foot passengers, but a bus across Outerbridge Crossing may as well be a small taxi. |

There was something I read upon recently that talked about a few new limited routes being implemented from JFK airport to a few major corridors in Brooklyn. Don't remember if one of them went near Sheepshead Bay. |
