BM5 via Woodhaven Posted August 19, 2014 Share #2 Posted August 19, 2014 Thank god, that is needed. Always irked me that the 8 had no Sunday Service, given how frequent the route is during the week. Also serves college of Mt. Saint Vincent, and some residential, so I'm sure you'll get some ridership. Here's the new 8 schedule: http://transportation.westchestergov.com/images/stories/Schedules/Fall14_Rte8.pdf They have it starting off with 35-40 minute headways, but something tells me they should've started with 60 minutes instead. Also, now that the 8 runs on Sundays, they should revert the 78 to it's former, Limited Stop Route (on weekdays and saturdays), and skip I-87 and run via Ridge Road instead.

4P3607 Posted August 20, 2014 Share #3 Posted August 20, 2014 Now that the W8 is running on Sundays, there will be no W8! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(inb4VG8comescryingthatmorepeoplefromyonkerswillcomeandusehispreciousbxm1andbxm2) I didn't understand though, on the other hand what you meant with this, I think you meant the 78 for the last part of your sentence, If I am perceiving it correctly.

Q43LTD Posted August 24, 2014 Share #7 Posted August 24, 2014 What next, the 30 or 61 will have Sunday service? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B35 via Church Posted August 24, 2014 Share #8 Posted August 24, 2014 .......Also, now that the 8 runs on Sundays, they should revert the 78 to it's former, Limited Stop Route (on weekdays and saturdays), and skip I-87 and run via Ridge Road instead. I've always thought the BL-78 should run to city line on weekends...... Ultimately what I'm getting at is, the BL-8 should be a weekday only route.... With that, then the BL-78 should be extended (and modified) to have both current BL-8's end terminals on saturdays, and the current BL-78 eastern end terminal on sundays..... Don't feel like explaining all the nuances of the idea, so here's a map...... Tried to make as detailed as I could, as quickly as I could... Any questions, Ask.

qjtransitmaster Posted August 25, 2014 Share #9 Posted August 25, 2014 What next, the 30 or 61 will have Sunday service? 30 maybe 61 unlikely it barely runs on Saturdays.

Why stop there let 78 go to 242nd to boot. You had a point about the 3 hehe MTA adding trains strengthened your earlier point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B35 via Church Posted August 25, 2014 Share #10 Posted August 25, 2014 Why stop there let 78 go to 242nd to boot. Not feasible.... Folks coming off the subway are going to have to xfer after coming off the BL-1 or BL-2.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have thought of having it as a combined routing, but I had a different plan in mind. Here's what I had in mind: The 8/78 should run together (as in, reroute the 78 via Saw Mill, I think Nepperhan can handle the 5 and 9 over there). Also, maybe just change the destinations, the 8 as a limited north of Yonkers until Central Park Avenue, and then the 78 Runs Local to Central Park Avenue via Ridge Road, on weekdays and saturdays. On Sundays, just make the 8 serve everything as a local, but with 30 minute headways between Yonkers and Central Park Avenue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the weekend setup I would try to compress/combine.... Whether it's called the 8 or the 78 is moot to me.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
