Here's my other SAS proposal, this time with service to Queens: The will be rerouted to the after 36 St, onto the line after Roosevelt Island to Grand St, then onto the Nassau St line to Broad St, and then resuming its normal route to 95 St thereafter. This new route will run between Bay Ridge and Forest Hills at all times and provide Queens customers direct access to Second Avenue. However, to compensate for the loss of a direct trip to Queens Plaza from 36 St on weekends, the will run local in Queens during those times, since the does not run to Forest Hills on weekends. On Broadway: the will run local in Manhattan via the Montague Street Tunnel at all times, stopping at DeKalb Av in both directions. express service along Fourth Avenue will remain unchanged. Also, there will be a new train that will run local between Astoria and Whitehall St on weekdays only. service will remain unchanged. Queens customers who wish to access Broadway trains may take the train to Lexington Av/63 St and use the free out-of-system subway transfer to the Lexington Av/59 St station.

A new stop on 39 St at 48 Av will be added, too

I pay attention to every detail...

Which depot should I assign the B80?

Here's the B80 route map. Same as I described, except that I rerouted it to Humboldt St northbound and Russell St southbound. Also, Kingsland/Meeker Avs will no longer be a stop. https://mapsengine.google.com/map/edit?mid=zh758mgJc1tw.kQb46ncew3dI

Just a little edit: The northbound stop at Broadway will be at 47 St, not 49 St. The bus will also travel northbound along 47 St between Northern Blvd and 31 Av.

That's how the MTA's new bus routes from scratch all started...the B32, B84, Bx46, and M12...and all these routes have buses running every 30 minutes.

If the BQE won't do for a Brooklyn to LGA route, here's my new proposal: B80: Limited-stop service between LaGuardia Airport, Queens, and Downtown Brooklyn via Jay St, Tillary St, Park Av, Williamsburg St, Rodney St (northbound), Marcy Av (southbound), Meeker Av, Kingsland Av (northbound), Monitor St (southbound), Greenpoint Av, 39 St, Northern Blvd, 49 St (northbound), 48 St (southbound), Astoria Blvd, and 23 Av (northbound). Makes only the following stops: On Jay St: Fulton Mall Myrtle Promenade On Park Av: Vanderbilt Av On Williamsburg St (northbound)/Classon Av (southbound): Flushing Av On Rodney St (northbound)/Marcy Av (southbound): Broadway Metropolitan Av On Meeker Av: Lorimer St Graham Av Kingsland Av On Kingsland Av (northbound)/Monitor St (southbound): Nassau Av On Greenpoint Av: Borden Av On 39 St: Queens Blvd Steinway St/Northern Blvd On 49 St (northbound) and 48 St (southbound): Broadway 30 Av On Astoria Blvd: 78 St 82 St On 23 Av (northbound): 87 St 94 St Then all stops in LaGuardia Airport The B80 will operate from 6AM to midnight every 30 minutes.

Here's the B79 route map: https://mapsengine.google.com/map/edit?mid=zh758mgJc1tw.kNXF1J9fZFlw and the B8A route map: https://mapsengine.google.com/map/edit?mid=zh758mgJc1tw.kqa_21O8cTaY

For this proposal, I decided to reroute the bus again. After Ralph Av, it will instead continue along Foster Av to Kings Hwy, then go via Kings Hwy, Av H, Flatbush Av, Foster Av again until reaching McDonald Av, then via McDonald Av until resuming its normal route from 20 Av onwards to Bay Ridge.

Would this proposal work, or would a B8A bus to the via Canarsie Plaza and the current B8 route work better?

That reminds me, I'd reroute my previous B79 proposal as follows: via Bay Ridge Av (both directions west of 13 Av, eastbound east of 13 Av), 70 St (westbound), 20 Av, Av I, Coney Island Av, Av J, Bedford Av, Glenwood Rd, Albany Av, Av H, Ralph Av, Foster Av, Av D, and Rockaway Pkwy. Rerouting the bus to Foster Av will provide better access to Canarsie Plaza, which is a bit underserved. Rerouting the bus to Bay Ridge Av/70 St will streamline service in Bay Ridge and Borough Park and provide better access to the 71 St station. Also, rush hour buses will no longer terminate at Flatbush Av.

The Bx18 bus has had unbelievably low ridership, but why didn't the MTA kill it during the 2010 budget cuts?

I give up...

So it would be better to run the bus nonstop between Kingsland/Meeker Avs and LGA--in other words, it will exit out the BQE at 48 St, run via Laurel Hill Blvd to Queens Blvd, and then re-enter the BQE via 65 Pl making no stops along the way. In fact, 65 Pl and Queens Blvd would be the only streets used to re-enter the BQE.

Would it be better if the bus made stops along Laurel Hill Blvd in Queens?

If you're saying the route's coverage in Brooklyn is too limited, would it be better if I extended it to Downtown Brooklyn along Williamsburg St and Park Av? (It will make only the following stops along these streets: on Williamsburg St: Nostrand Av, Lee Av, Flushing Av; on Park Av: Washington Av, Navy St; on Jay St: Myrtle Promenade, Fulton Mall; on Smith St: Livingston St) I'll change the designation to B80

What's wrong?

The takes too long to reach the Q70 because it first must pass through Manhattan to go to Jackson Heights. Also, there are no buses to LGA that are reachable from the and trains. If you're saying the BQE is unreliable, I would reroute the bus to Laurel Hill Blvd in Queens south of Queens Blvd, but I will still run it nonstop to LGA.
