The local bus changes are basically a big nothing-burger (unlike Queens). The express bus changes - the most controversial - have been deferred until 2021.

Nothing-burger; not exactly. Not when the short-sighted folks at the MTA seek to reroute buses from areas that have major development taking place, with the potential for great amounts of new ridership. The MTA should consider local & limited service and not worry about Select Buses, which is not cost effective, often confusing to riders and encourages back door fare evasion on other lines. Same with express buses that they wish to operate along the Major Deegan. Has anyone at the MTA ever seen the Deegan backed up, which is almost a daily thing? The whole idea of operating buses is to carry riders. Where does the MTA intend to pick up riders along the Deegan when riders board along fixed corridors farther east and west.
I'll be attending Thursday's meeting.

They should do what the B110 does. When the BQE is backed up, thebus uses local streets instead.

Bx15 late night service is being cut from 20 minute headways (like the (8) train had) to 30 minute headways.
