IAlam Posted January 16, 2017 Share #26 Posted January 16, 2017 And it was true until they started enforcing the fare. It still happens on some lines, just not as much. The M86 is a perfect example. People are either too lazy or too incompetent to understand the whole concept of paying before you board, and some just don't care. Lmao with how short most trips on the M86 are it makes sense, especially if the bus is already there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isaelperez81 Posted January 17, 2017 Share #27 Posted January 17, 2017 Lmao with how short most trips on the M86 are it makes sense, especially if the bus is already there.Yet people still get on running from the train to the sbs. I did a few sbs86 runs. People expect me to open the door as they come out of the train station and my light is green, with another sbs 1 block behind me? Lol. One person was caught on the Amsterdam Ave stop east bound, failed to get ticket and got stopped by the tranist enforcement agents. She was mad at the fact she got caught and just got on. Buy if this was to happen on the m14 line it will be great revenue with ticket blitz but just slow things down as people come on to check tickets. Checking as they get out? Lol the kids probably run for it sent from my note4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotham Bus Co. Posted January 17, 2017 Share #29 Posted January 17, 2017 This is actually current. The only one that's new, that I had not confirmed was a west side SBS. I did hear talk of it so it's viable. The rest is 100% correct. So you can personally guarantee that NYCT and NYCDOT will implement all of those routes (and only those routes) in its upcoming SBS plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one, I repeat: no one, can personally guarantee that all these routes will be implemented. This is a planning document which only shows that they were at the very least studied. That he can confirm (and has). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danielhg121 Posted January 19, 2017 Share #36 Posted January 19, 2017 Will there be enough riders for this route? It connects with 3 trains and already and everybody has the mindset trains are faster than buses. You're losing ridership left and right, no one will opt for an SBS rather than take the subway and halfway into the route you meet and , than it carries air to Columbus.

It also connects to the 2.You also have crosstown riders, it could just turn into a Q32 situation where you have two separate groups of riders. However during the rush it will definitely have ridership, the Q60 and Q32 do. probably on the weekends too when traffic is more bearable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I've heard rumors that it'll be going over the Williamsburg bridge after the L train is shut down..... Anyone heard anything similar to this? It would kind of make sense to merge one of the M14 branches with the B39, if only to relieve the and between Marcy Avenue and Essex Street. It doesn't make any sense otherwise, but while the is shut down it does make a little bit of sense. However, I'd much rather see the M14 feed to an East River ferry service like one of the official plans called for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is that if there's reliability issues within Manhattan or going over the Queensboro Bridge, it would affect service for intra-Queens riders.

Mysterious2train Posted January 20, 2017 Share #43 Posted January 20, 2017 http://www.slideshare.net/austinsomethingsomething/flatbush-av-select-bus-poster B41 SBS proposal map What is that from? I'd assume someone made that up. No one, I mean no one, with any sort of credibility would propose removing the B9 from Kings Plaza... I actually made that map as a proposal years ago. I'm surprised somebody dug it up. And that the file is still intact, I completely forgot about it. The idea to reroute the B9 would be alongside an extension of the B2 to Bay Ridge to partially replace it. But uh, that's neither here nor there.

Of anything similar, there was a proposal to have 14th Street completely car free a few months back; it involves keeping the street to buses only during the shutdown. http://gothamist.com/2016/06/07/car_free_14th_street.php Interestingly, the RPA proposed that there be a busway from Chelsea to Lorimer Street. http://library.rpa.org/pdf/RPA-A-New-L-Train-for-New-Yorkers.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupojohn Posted February 11, 2017 Share #45 Posted February 11, 2017 Regarding the farebeating: The Bx41 (as it was mentioned here) checks for tickets at Fordham Road. At least it did when I was riding it. The M86 shouldn't have SBS to begin with, but that's another story. Perhaps the driver explaining is him/her DOING THEIR JOB. If you had ticket checkers at every stop, that will slow things down even more. Face it: as wrong as it is, you're never gonna stop it completely. The M14A/D is the only crosstown that actually needs SBS. Guessing one would be SBS, the other local and they maintain their current routes. It doesn't specify if both would be converted. The M11 would seemingly be cut back from Riverbank Park to 135th Street. Interesting. I can't comment on the other routes as I don't live in Brooklyn or Queens.

I've never seen them check for tickets on the Bx41. Then again I haven't taken the SBS. I agree here. The M86 needs a Limited and that's about it. They should've made the M101 the SBS route out of OH. I think the Q113 would do well with SBS. The question I have is, where on Brewer Blvd (and maybe 147th Ave) are they expecting to fit bus lanes? This Flushing - Columbus Circle route seems interesting, although they could just create a Q32A and send it to Columbus Circle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The M86 should DEFINITELY have SBS, otherwise the bunching would be far worse. It moves well outside of the rush esp., and a big part of that is due to folks paying before they board.
