RailRunRob Posted October 15, 2015 Share #2 Posted October 15, 2015 After riding the B44 SBS to Ave U today.. I feel like the only two routes making a difference is the S79 and Bx12... I might give the Bx41 a pass. And the M60 is okay. Im wondering how the B46 will fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JubaionBx12+SBS Posted October 16, 2015 Share #3 Posted October 16, 2015 How are we defining making a difference? Also I haven't heard many positive comments on the B44 Select on this board. How is that route performing on a day to day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is that route performing on a day to day? Ive used the S79 countless times the trip is faster... hands down and I can say the same thing for the Bx12 White Plans Road to Pelham Bay so the difference is there. The B44 SBS wasn't positive at all.. The fastest part of the route is from the Williamsburg to Eastern Parkway ive use that route from time to time to St Johns Place and walk the 6 blocks or take the if it's coming to Washington ave. The which is closer to me from Williamsburg is slow as heck. Anything south of Eastern Pway forget about it. Double parked cars between Flatbush and Kings Highway was a crawl. I dont know whats going on with SBS B44.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuyorican Posted October 16, 2015 Share #5 Posted October 16, 2015 Lets see how the Q44 sbs will be....Stuphin Blvd and Archer Ave is always a mess then along Main st from Northern Blvd to Booth Memorial is full of double park cars and trucks making deliveries. I see they started painting the bus lanes and adding the sbs machines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree with you the fastest part of the route is from Williamsburg to Eastern Parkway (southbound) and I can say the same vice-versa. Northbound fastest part is Fulton Street to Washington Plaza. Bad part is the B46SBS+ is not going to the bridge. Honestly, I feel there is a way that you can have the 46 go to the Bridge by avoiding Broadway for a good portion of the route.

Yep Bedford is a fast ride up.. Indeed the B46 north of Eastern Pkway on the flip side is where the problem is going to be.. Reid/Malcolm X and the northern end of Utica is super narrow Id love to see how this works out. But getting the B46 SBS to Willamsburg seems like a Lafayette / DeKalb to/from Bedford, Nostrand / Lee Ave's then a shared route with the SBS B44 don't know if the ridership warrants it tho.
