BM5 via Woodhaven

The B39 wasn't running during overnight hours in 2022 like it did for the first half of 2021.

Several somewhat interesting stuff. As many pointed out, the large drops in The Bronx and even on Staten Island are likely due to farebeating. Other routes may have been affected by the Bronx bus redistribution redesign, such as the Bx18 and Bx30 so we have no idea what it is actually like. Plus with the Bx30, Bee-Line's free fare promotions have also been taking away ridership. The Q70 also suffered a drop, likely because they stopped counting once the route became free. We now have one route in the entire system that made a net gain in ridership compared to pre-pandemic (2019 in this case): the BxM4. Annual ridership is 2.49% higher than what it was in 2019 (ridership is up 0.44% on weekdays, and 2.56% on weekends). The nearest route to 100% of 2019 annual ridership is the BxM6 at 98.6%. Below are some more stats: Local Buses When accounting across all metrics (weekday, weekend, annual), Queens leads the way in terms of recovery, followed by Manhattan, Brooklyn, Staten Island, and The Bronx. Here's how counted annual borough-wide recovery looks like with MTA Bus Company and NYC Transit routes together: Queens: 68.65% Manhattan: 63.25% Brooklyn: 62.85% Staten Island: 57.16% The Bronx: 53.03% The bus routes with the highest increases in ridership from 2021 are routes which go through Midtown, primarily operate in Southern Brooklyn, and buses operating in Northeast Queens between Northern and Hillside Avenues. That swath of NE Queens routes saw some of the biggest jumps in ridership in the entire city. Most bus routes have recovered anywhere from 50-70%. Some routes have counts indicating less than 50% of 2019 levels, while some others have over 70% (most of which are MTA Bus Company routes). The top 3 routes in terms of annual recovery compared to 2019 levels are: M12 - 96.42% Q18 - 82.46% M11 - 80.09% Excluding the Q70, below are routes which had counted below 50% of pre-pandemic levels on.....

Not one express route lost ridership in 2022. Weekend ridership has not only rebounded, but for several routes it is even higher than pre-pandemic levels. This may be in part due to the fear and sentiment surrounding subway crime, coupled with ever-lasting track work and outages. The routes listed below have weekend ridership higher than what it was pre-pandemic: BM1 (106.24%) BM3 (121.06%) BM4 (118.30%) BxM4 (117.20%) BxM6 (102.56%) X27 (102.28%) X28 (126.23%) In addition, the BM2, BM5, BxM3, BxM10, QM4, QM15, and SIM33C all have weekend ridership numbers between 95% and 100% of pre-pandemic levels.

Joined yesterday at 12:10 PM but posted yesterday at 12:09 PM... interesting.

They should have revised the stops instead, a parallel route wouldn't have been much better since it misses Northern, which is where everything's at. To the south, 34th Avenue isn't even a feasible route anymore with the pedestrian spaces they now put in along with other road diet measures. As far as 21st Street, it can be hit or miss. However I would say that I agree with the proposed running west of Broadway and (still to QBP), because it still carries to the immediate west. There's definitely a lot more ridership east of Broadway, but west of that they're aren't exactly empty, in many cases you can find close to SRO buses and even packed buses. Primarily Steinway, 43rd, and 48th Streets due to the shopping centers and other commercial areas nearby. I would still have the short turns though. Many people getting on at QBP also don't really get off until well after the bus has turned off 21st Street and even 35th Avenue so the new routing is a boon in that instance. For Steinway Street though, I wonder if the bulk of people currently taking the Q66 are actually walking down to 35th Avenue or if they're coming from that general area. If it's the former then that new route will be more inconvenient for those people, but I definitely think the case can be made for having the Q66 until at the very least Steinway Street. As far as QBP down to the Hunters Point South ferry, that I'm mixed on because while there's nothing on Jackson Avenue and I wouldn't want some infrequent route like the Q105 to cover that, IDK if the Q66 is the right route for that. I know that this is not the implication by anyone here, though if you want to make such a route useful, merging it with the proposed Q80 would do wonders. You get the bulk of Middle Village and Glendale residents who got cut off from the train and Jackson Heights because of what they did with the Q29 and Q47 (SMFH), and they'll fill up the buses on Broadway. With the construction going on around 69th Street and Queens Boulevard which has 69th be a two lane street along with the abysmal signalization that was not changed, it'll be about the same time via Broadway if not less. Plus, Broadway has a bunch of commercial areas that are not easy to get to (of which people in that area to some extent go), and Elmhurst Hospital. Prior to the making local stops between Queensboro Plaza and 74th Street, I would sometimes transfer to the Q18 at 69th Street & Garfield Avenue and take that to Woodside, which usually got me there faster than if I stayed on the Q47 to 69th Street. Would be able to catch an earlier express than I normally used to as well, which saved me time. It was that slow on 69th. Given that it's the summer time now and all trains are stopping at 69th, I just stay on to 69th Street. But when it's fall again and school is back, that's going to suck. I know a lot of people are probably not too happy with the express change, but it's been a godsend for me. No longer just missing the local train and having to wait 10 minutes in the afternoon as well.

Part of it is because they get away with underserving the Q66. There's a lot of activity at every stop because it's a major corridor, and it has a lot of commercial areas. I think that headways should be increased during the day. During the rush not only should there be more service, but that there should also be an LTD variant. That, along with the bus lanes (and proper enforcement) would have been more helpful than just seemingly eliminating every other stops, making certain transfers more inconvenient.

From the routes chosen, it's evident that the MTA chose routes that predominantly serve lower-income neighborhoods. The least busiest routes (speaking about riders per trip and to some extent, sheer ridership) tend to be in more wealthier areas, like the Bx24. However they also didn't want to pick routes that tend to carry or serve too many areas. If they followed that, I guess they could have gone with the Q83 for the Queens route since there's less overlap, but I have no idea what their rationale is. They tend to use any type of argument, which can often conflict with previously made ones, as long as it supports whatever decision they're making.

They also eliminate existing trips that a lot of people use and need, while simultaneously shoving people onto the subway. Like in Middle Village with the vast majority of bus service to LIC and Jackson Heights being eliminated. That would require people to have to take a bus to the or trains for Jackson Heights, or the if going to Long Island City which would be a backtrack and make trips both longer than they currently are, AND indirect. Just because those things might be true, does not mean that they'll be as utilized (on a regular, consistent basis) as some of the stuff they're cutting from the existing system. While there are people who will complain about any changes, a lot of the gripe surrounding the proposed changes aren't without merit.

It was the 11:08 to Huntington.

I took a train about two hours ago and the conductor was about to make me buy a ticket until I showed her the description on the service alert page and read it off my phone. There's apparently some who still have no idea at all.

Some more specific information regarding the changes are here: https://new.mta.info/press-release/mta-long-island-rail-road-announces-fall-timetable-schedule-changes-effective-tuesday

LOL, so restoring direct service to Brooklyn on the Long Beach Branch means only getting one AM trip. Also, in a lot of cases they're still simply dicking around with the departures. Now you'll have a bunch of inconsistent service patterns. The Ronkonkoma Branch out of Grand Central will have a 90 minute gap in the early PM rush / shoulder period. With respect to the PM trip changes, the one I agree with is the 4:22 PM trip switch to Penn. The way they scheduled that train is dumb. It currently leaves 3 minutes before the next Ronkonkoma Branch train out of Grand Central (4:25 PM to Ronkonkoma) but it gets to Hicksville, Bethpage, and Farmingdale 2-3 minutes AFTER the 4:25 PM train because it stops in Mineola. They should switch up the 4:22 PM train to Penn and make it leave a little earlier to be in-between the 4:01 and 4:34 PM trips. The current 4:09 PM trip from Grand Central could have been moved up instead to maintain a 60 minute headway from the previous train, and to space it out from the 4:25 PM trip. Ultimately though they actually need to revise the service patterns instead of just switching trips here and there (this goes for all branches). In the PM rush, Ronkonkoma Branch trains from Grand Central should for the most part be roughly every 30 minutes, and stop at Jamaica, Mineola and/or Hicksville, then all branch stops to Ronkonkoma. That would still be a decent enough frequency, and trains that are freed up can be used to reallocate to service on the branch from Penn Station. There's no need for all these super express trips they're getting. Ironically though the only rush hour Ronkonkoma Branch trip from Grand Central that seems to be fairly loaded or packed is that 5:39 PM super express trip. Perhaps that one can be kept. Any super expresses should be ultimately starting from Penn, where there is more demand. Below is something that I had in mind (times are approximate) Also interesting that Babylon Branch service to/from Grand Central actually gets an increase with that former Atlantic Terminal trip being rerouted. Would have thought that they would just discontinue the thing.

They literally cut all the buses headed directly to Jackson Heights throughout most of my neighborhood now you have to go to either 69th Street or Woodhaven Boulevard for a bus. Absolutely ridiculous and infuriating. They have the Q80 for 80th Street backtracking to Queens Center Mall after Grand Avenue , while hitting other routes going to QCM in the process. Grand Avenue has the Q59 AND Q98 going to QCM, so why have a third bus doing the exact same thing? Meanwhile you have the Q63 ending at Grand Avenue coming from Jackson Heights and LIC smh. Grand Avenue is a stub and the Q52 and Q53 are also proposed to cover Broadway. Honestly, I have my doubts about Holden doing much of anything. Besides from his opposition to the very first draft which was an obvious position, dude doesn't have the best record when it comes to transit related stuff (either dormant, or actively against stuff like the various bus lanes in the area). I'd like to be wrong (because of what's at stake) in the Maspeth/Middle Village area, but I'm not holding my breath.

They stopped running them in January. My question was that one that I raised in the beginning of this thread, considering that they kept saying noting Seaside Heights as seasonal only on subsequent timetables (which was only served by the X trips on the 67). Was wondering if they really discontinued it for good or whether they were just gonna have it for the summer.

That's something I've considered in the past, although ultimately I don't consider it to be too much of an issue. I don't have a problem with the 101 running to New Rochelle, if one needed to be chosen over the other. Regarding Yonkers, perhaps it'll take some riders away from the 7/30 around Getty Square, and it'll gain whatever existing riders in South Yonkers that make their way to the 7. So while I happen to more or less agree with you that demand won't be as high, I don't see that as a problem affecting the 101's performance overall. As far as Downtown Mount Vernon to/from the , I would definitely have the 40 cover that segment. Looking back, it seems that it'll be hard to have something cover what the 42 and 107 do in one route without being much different (or if not worse than the 42) in terms of being meandering, so I suppose having the 42 between Downtown Mount Vernon and New Rochelle wouldn't be okay. As far as the 53 is concerned, I think that would come into play to serve 3rd Street to/from the (2), providing subway access to parts of south Mount Vernon that are a bit far from the 101.

Looks like we have a definitive answer now regarding the 67X, it is forever eliminated. The 137 will be the sole bus to Seaside Heights. Northern NJ folks will have to take the 67 local to Toms River if they can't make it to the 319. https://www.njtransit.com/service-advisory/1615544
