Today is the first day where all FR routes have at least one LFS in service. This includes:
Q11: 9037
Q21: 9022
Q22: 9028
Q35: 9029, 9068
Q41: 9052, 9063
They can take studies from the Brooklyn redesign and implement it by the time the Queens redesign is ready. Technically, the Brooklyn final plan needs to be ready before any implementations, but that doesn't mean they won't be implemented after the Queens redesign.
Hearings still need to be held regardless of the borough, so there's plenty of time to announce changes if there needs to be any.
The only changes regarding Brooklyn routes is the service in Queens and changes that involves Queens routes, even if they touch Brooklyn. This includes:
Splitting the B24 to the B53/Q68
Q24 from Bushwick to Broadway Junction being replaced by the B53
B32 discontinued and replaced by the B53/B62
B57 extension to Jackson Heights
B62 extension to Astoria
Unless the MTA makes an announcement or the final plan is updated, these changes will be in conjunction with the Queens redesign.
Separate note, people forget how the M100 was changed despite not being a Bronx route. It'll be the same concept for the above routes.
Slightly off topic, is there any update to the AEB coach units? Always thought these would (indirectly) replace the 08 CTs (later replaced by the 2026 prevost)
Literally what we been saying all along, loans.
It's the same situation as TU. Buses will be sent there for X days, then go back to their home depot, sometimes with a decal slapped onto it.
Seems like CP will have around 4-5 units on rotation with LGA
If possible I would like to see the BRT connect to a Staten Island bus local redesign.
Combining the proposed 2012 plans and the (more recent) S40/40A plans, I could see something like this take place:
S40 cut back from Amazon, a new S5x route is created between Amazon and Arlington via teleport
A branch of the S44 (maybe S94) via the busway/S59 extension to St George
S53 westward extension to Arlington
S54 Eastward extension to St George
A revamped S66 via the busway instead of Victory Blvd
Slight modifications of the S90 to operate between Amazon and St George via the busway, possibly operating a similar pattern to the S93 (running during peak hours and during scheduled shifts)
Guys, if it's an obvious loan like Bronx artic to Manhattan or LGA buses to CP, there's really no point to keep posting them.
Don't know why I have to say it but I do.
Point still stands, even with HRV use, it's still impossible to make yard space
I mentioned LRV bc the study never mentioned anything about HRV usage to my knowledge; HRV between Port Richmond and St George is nearly impossible or will be extremely expensive.
