Where did you get this info from? The MTA’s website says nothing about it, just that a “reduced service" is being operated.

Driver in ulmer park told me, express buses will get a little bit extra service morning and evening, and b82 from ENY is supposed to have some sbs service but otherwise schedules are Sunday service with Saturday included.

Don’t believe everything you hear from the employees. In my almost 32 years with the TA, I have found a wealth of inaccuracies that came from the field. Do you know how accurate that drivers source is?

Yes he is responsible, and got it from the crew dispatcher

The B16 and B37 appear to be on Sunday schedules this morning, per scheduled times leaving from terminals on bustime.mta.info.

That means no express buses for SouthEast Brooklyn.

I just checked the BM1 and BM2 on BusTime and they're both running.

I don’t know where your info or the crew dispatcher’s info is coming from because the MTA’s own website only mentions that “essential” service is being provided and a reduced service is being operated but nowhere on the website does it indicate that Sunday schedules are being operated, and I would imagine if that were the case, the website would show it.

Not downplaying anybody, but so far in the field operations have been delayed with public notification in some places I’ve noticed. With the wide coverage of NYC, I can imagine the tweaks in service made “on the fly” not yet posted or if at all which I agree should not happen.

Per bustime, the B16 was scheduled to leave Bay Ridge at 9:05am then 9:35am today. The only day of the week that it does that is on Sundays.

The B37 was scheduled to leave Bay Ridge every half hour on the :00 and :30 per bustime. The only day of the week that it does that is on Sundays.

Both the B16 and B37 were definitely on Sunday schedules today. I rode the B37 in both directions today to get groceries.

Possibly want to make sure they have enough crews to maintain that Sunday service before making it “official”. Just a thought.

It occurred to me that even if the Sunday schedules are not official, the supts at the various depots may be using them as a guideline rather than running a “seat of the pants” daily schedule.
