Bus Route Changes:

M35: http://web.mta.info/nyct/service/planned_servChanges_M35.htm

B26/Q58: http://web.mta.info/nyct/service/planned_servChanges_B26Q58.htm

M86: http://web.mta.info/mta/planning/sbs/86St_M86.html

More to come.

Wow, an extra turn for the 26, but it's taking them away from where all those buses park (and there's often no room for the stop) next to the McDonalds. I guess they'll share the stop with the 52. (will be slightly closer for me, as I won't have to cross Wyckoff).

I hope the construction of the new apt. building on the little street is finished by then (they're doing the heavy work with the big crane lifting the beams now).

Really, they should just use the drop off location provided in the new terminal (So the terminals would all be together, and no one would have to cross the street to transfer). I don't know why they're doing everything but that.

Great Alternative! Do nothing!

I wonder what the negative effects of these reductions will be.

Bx5 to Bay Plaza on weekends

*Codes*

You're using the wrong code to put pics up (don't use html, use BBCode)

Also, this thread is specifically about the changes that will occur, there's also another thread which talks about these proposed changes which you can post your comments here:

Hey, this is the MTA we're talking about. They would argue costs would increase with this sort of change or some BS. Never was fond of the B52 terminal; it's even more of a PITA to get to the station, despite the fact that it's closer to the entrance.

I think M86 SBS will take long time to get folks used to off-board payment, especiallly at 1st Av, Lex Av, 5th Av, Central Park West, Broadway.

Q43LTD · June 22, 2015

I still can't believe there's a stop in the middle of Central Park for the select

I think it's for people heading to/from Central Park Precint. I think they could have put machine by police station or on stairs b/c no machines here.

It says that people boarding by police station must get off at CPW/5th Av to obtain a ticket, then reboard the bus. Imigine if there was Eagle Team there gave ticket for no-ticket-zone NYPD Stop.

Missabassie · June 23, 2015

So I assume the M35 is next for +SBS, they're always running SBS buses on it....

S78 via Hylan · June 23, 2015

Negative. They throw whatever bus is available on the route.

bobtehpanda · June 23, 2015

The M35 needs SBS about as much as the Resorts World Casino Bus.

Well, the SBS service is not adding or getting rid of stops on the route, so that stop apparently already exists?

I'm just surprised (or not) about the lack of a stop on Park.

@BobtehPanda

The M35 needs SBS about as much as the Resorts World Casino Bus.

1) the M35 is short distance, just like the B74 with Stillwell Av as one last stop (Goes to Wards Island back and forth from Harlem-125 St)

2) As answered, whatever is left over at the depot (MCH), the leftover goes to the M35 (standard or articulated bus)

(*SBS wouldnt be seen on that line, the fare is avoided majority of the time)

FamousNYLover · June 23, 2015

I wouldn't think there will be SBS on M35 either because homeless need to get to/from shelter and they don't always have enough money to paid their fare.

All crosstown buses don't stop at Park Av anymore.

The M116 still stops on Park Ave...

Via Garibaldi 8 · June 27, 2015

Yeah but that's uptown. Not exactly the fancy Park Av from 96th street down. lol

BM5 via Woodhaven · June 27, 2015

The M34 also stop on Park Avenue in both directions though, as well as the M23 and M66.

FamousNYLover · June 27, 2015

There's no Park Av stop on M66.

aemoreira81 · June 27, 2015

The B26 or the Q58, but not both, should be rerouted along Ridgewood Place. There isn't enough room on Palmetto to lay buses over.

azspeedbullet · June 28, 2015

ridgewood place looks like a narrow two way street. why does the mta want 2 bus lines down this block and there is no lay over room. atleast by mcdonald there was some room for the buses to park.

if im not mistaken werent they going to reroute this to comply with the disaster known as vision zero,

also isn't the b48 due to have the reroute or another time

I mean going by that logic, they might as well reroute the Q55. Out of that whole Myrtle/Wyckoff/Palmetto intersection, the Q55 has the worst turn to make. That backwards left angle turn from Palmetto onto Myrtle is dangerous.

Guess what I found in Ridgewood today:

Still no notice on buses or on the MTA website about the QM15 change though. I know it starts later on in the week, but still....

Eric B · June 29, 2015

Guess what I found in Ridgewood today:

Wow; didn't know that was going on today. Passing by later (on the way to the BMT celebration), it was totally quiet, with the usal one or two buses parked there, and I didn't see any using the new route.

BxM11 http://web.mta.info/nyct/service/planned_servChanges_BxM11.htm

That BxM11 change is probably due to people in Pelham Parkway complaining about having that Boston Road/Pelham Parkway South stop removed previously. The Bronx Zoo stop southbound is an attempt to increase ridership. Outside of Pelham Parkway, it's likely that people aren't using it as much (can't afford it).

M86 SBS starts on Monday, July 13th.
