I'm generally of the opinion that bus routes are duplicitous in many areas. In my neighborhood, there are buses running parallel to each other on every street from Classon Ave to Malcolm X Blvd, save for Marcy and Stuyvesant aves. It seems to me that in many areas, the MTA could benefit by eliminating or consolidating routes, but the general consensus is that this is such a terrible inconvenience that it cannot be allowed. "MTA can't cut MY bus!" The 4/44 seems to be another one of those type of issues.Looking at a bus map can be misleading because because all the routes in Bed Stuy run on one-way streets, so the grid appears denser. Actually the routes are only spaced slightly closer there and it is justified because residential densities are heavier, bus usage is heavier and car ownership is lower than in outlying areas such as southern Brooklyn. |
