Though this tidbit belongs in the BusChat section, these 2010 cuts also made the M1 bus, on its southbound route path, a carbon copy of the old FACO Division Route 1 between 135th and 8th Streets. This is notable because: a) the M1 as we know it today was 100% derived from the old NYCO Fourth and Madison Avenues route that in turn was descended from the city's first streetcar route which was inaugurated way back in 1832, and b) from 1966 until the cutbacks, the M1's transitioned to Madison from 39th Street and Park Avenue, and from Fifth Avenue at 40th Street to Park, its SB path simply shifted one block west back then. After the changes, M1's NB transition point to Madison was shifted to 25th and Park Avenue South. No doubt what was descended from Fifth Avenue Coach Lines didn't speak up to object to this rerouting, given how in 1962 they claimed "perpetual franchise" on their #1 route. |

An extension to 9 Ave would be sufficient in my opinion. Could make up in a way for the loss of service to Nassau St. Otherwise I don’t see anywhere else economically efficient for the W to go in Brooklyn.Vader |

Problem is the Brooklyn end does not have as much ridership.The stations towards the north end of the line need the service. If W goes to Brooklyn and gets delayed it affects the northern terminal more. |

And as I remember, we had ONE person on this board who complained LOUDLY at the idea of combining the (M) with the (V), upset that HE was now going to have to deal with overcrowded (F) trains at 2nd Avenue as opposed to being able to get on an empty (V) train there. Not to mention at the time this move made sense and still does. |

I’m sure similar issues were raised when the uptown Fs and BBs were extended to the south end and passengers on 6 Ave no longer could board nearly empty trains at places like 34/6. |
