Future ENY OP

In absolute agreement on this.

Some key weekend observations: Took a quick trip to the Nations Capital (WMATA) territory and took in some observations: By far the best New Flyer fleet configuration right behind the . As far as the transportation itself, that's another story. Their XD40's and XD60's have white signage. (I know the Q70 has white signage) However, I'd like to see the make use of the white signage on all its buses. WMATA taking a page from San Fran with Driver side wraps on their XD40's and XD60's and their rear billboards cover the whole entire back of the bus. They finally retired the Orion V's and no full wrap buses on the newer models. I guess Philadelphia holds the title of full bus wraps. Coming back to New York City: Seen a conga line of Staten Island buses on the VNB heading to respective depots after working the shuttle. An SIM bus deading to Tottenville to begin service to Manhattan. Brooklyn Division working various shuttles

I'm going to have to ignore this also. Spring Creek patrons are going to learn that everything doesn't go their way. Just consider that there even lucky enough to have the B84. This agency doesn't really consider these ideas very likely. Also, I can't debate with someone who doesn't have the complexity on how the current Brooklyn Transit grid works.

You have the B42 and B103 for those examples, plus those lines provide transfers to the B6 and B82 respectively and those are not 2 fare zones. I may be 6 years removed from taking public transportation. However, when it comes to Brooklyn bus service. I have a clear knowledge that most lines provide connection to other lines to get into Gateway Mall. Gateway is not really the most attractive mall. Although it has good amenities. However, it's not the type of mall I would want to emphasize any type of bus transportation unless it's for the service area, and in this case is Spring Creek // East New York, and perhaps Ozone Park. To your other point: Try saying that to the Community Board in East New York which wanted the B84 service in the first place. As I told you previously this line was specifically done for the area since they are developing that portion of East New York and Spring Creek. Right now the is not in the business of creating new bus lines. Think of this. Again, YOU DON'T NEED THE B84 GOING WESTBOUND TO FLATBUSH....

First off: I'm not understanding the grammar situation so I'm a bit lost. Second: Once a upon of time I made a suggestion to have the 84 terminate in Canarsie. Through various conversations with a few members on the board it didn't make sense for the 84 head to Canarsie when you have the B6 and B82 both doing the job of handling the Canarsie riders. It didn't make sense for the current ridership that is in Spring Creek and East New York, Starrett City to head into Canarsie for the train. Third: What I'm saying to you is this.. There is no market for the B84 to head into East Flatbush or even let alone Brooklyn College. I'm not trying to debate or shutdown your idea. However, due to current Brooklyn transit grid and the marketing for this route it is HIGHLY IMPOSSIBLE to have a Spring Creek route operate into Brooklyn College. Now, I ask you this. How do you market a route that is intended for travel within Spring Creek and East New York to Flatbush.. (Sorry if I'm repeating myself a bit)

To me it's really sad how the current Brooklyn bus grid was designed for some of these buses to end in obscured places like Cypress Hills Houses and etc. When I see buses like the Q7, Q8, B13, B14, B15*, B20 really end at very weird places like the Brooklyn Postal Facility // Pink Houses and other areas in East New York. Sometimes you ask should some of these routes need to be extended into Queens just to make up some service. Although you have the B15 which is the main airport bus. Some of us including myself have indicated in the past that the B20 should be the other bus to possibly service the airport or even parts of Ozone Park. As for the B14, although I'm not a big fan of ending the line in Ozone Park but I will agree with you on this. Ending it on Rockaway serves a few things. 1) If there is a disruption of service b/w East New York and Ozone Park you have a easy connection with the Q11/21/52/53. 2) Additional service is provided on Pitkin as you indicated as the Q7 carries so much air in that area of Ozone Park. 3) Patrons from Crown Heights and Brownsville that work in Ozone Park have a opportunity for a 1 seat ride. (Can't believe I'm saying this) 3 things for this B84: A) Buses going via Livonia, Penn to Broadway Junction. B) Buses going via Cozine, Glenwood to the since the bus only lane is in effect on Glenwood. C) DO NOTHING.

Here's the problem that I have with the 84 and it is simply this. The route is strictly a Spring Creek // East New York route only servicing the community. There's no easy way of marketing a route like the 84 to go towards Flatbush and Brooklyn College. Although the B6, B11, B103 go to Brooklyn College I personally don't think the 84 has a chance to go to Brooklyn College. I don't think there's enough space to terminate the 84 and plus I don't think people from Flatbush are going to take a long trip to East New York // Spring Creek to gateway. That's already done by the B6. The Q7 is plainly a airport bus and really has no business ending at Euclid. The route itself carries too much air. However, it has it moments. B14: To me it has no business ending at Rockaway Blvd . I'm just curious about the marketing and ridership between that end of Ozone Park and Crown Heights. Personally, if I lived in Ozone Park and I wanted anyway to get into Brooklyn via Bus it wouldn't be the B14. Most Ozone Park riders going into Brooklyn are using the B13- City Line, Q24 on Atlantic and the Train. Now, if you tell me the B14 to Grant Avenue or even Sheridan Avenue I'd accept that just only b/c it has a long trek to Crown Heights.

I don’t think the B14 and B84 needs to be extended. However, I’d like to see the 14 operate via Pitkin. Takeaway the stress going down Sutter Avenue. As for the 84. I’d extend only within East New York // Spring Creek. Any additional extension won’t warrant b/c than you are cutting into other routes.

I can’t with this agency. Simply can’t. I guess this is why everything with the is subject to change 😂😂😂.

Is the Q58 rumor even true??? Honestly, I cannot see the Q58 which stops and starts in front of Fresh Pond heading to Grand Avenue. Grand Avenue is zero and everything since acquiring other depot bus lines. Just seen a caravan of 3 (B47) buses heading to Kings Plaza on the 11PM hour on a Tuesday night.. Beautiful you ask.. Can the hurry up and build another depot in Brooklyn to deal with Grand Avenue or snatch Spring Creek from the Queens Division and back to the Brooklyn Division. (Hopefully the latter part happens during the Brooklyn re-design) Honestly, SC belongs in the Brooklyn Division and buses have Brooklyn Bus Maps.

Just got that same email and I passed. Very happy for this moment. 1 step closer to the dream job.

Look at the post below.. - Bus was spotted in Canarsie with Ulmer Park Decals.

7549 in service at Ulmer Park. On the B6

Looks like a re-program to me.

Does it have SBS wrap or regular local?

Excellent clear pictures ENY... So Ulmer Park is due for their first (20). Something tells me that 7533 or 7534 will see service on the B6 Thursday Morning via the nighthawk or 1st AM pullout and 7550 on the B3. It would be crazy if more buses were coming in 2nite along with the first 3.

Ulmer Park on the clock for new delivery.. Very nice.

Yes, that is correct.

I think that one unit from Grand Avenue made the trip to Queens Village. Grand doesn’t have 68xx anymore.

Just spotted caution tape along the B6 shelters: Flatbush & Glenwood, Nostrand & Glenwood, East 45th Street & Avenue H, Utica Avenue & Avenue H, East 56th & Avenue H.

Was that S89 was a LFS or MCI?

MCH does not have 68xx buses. Only in East New York, Queens Village and I believe Casey Stengel has some too. MCH has 38xx, 39xx and 67xx buses.

You on the money with this @paulrivera.

There are some along the B69 with caution tape.

Im going to be straight up honest. The purpose of the B84 is to serve the farthest point of East New York and Spring Creek. It already serves as a feeder to the train station. I don’t know extending the 84 to serve the is the right choice. I’ve mentioned this and even moving the 84 at least to Canarsie to help out the B6 and terminate at Rockaway. Again, you gotta look at ridership patterns in the area plus existing B20 service in East New York. I don’t know extending the 84 to serve the on Euclid is the right choice. You dont need the Q7 and Q8 stopping at the same place. If anything the 84 should serve Grant Avenue since there’s no current terminal since the B12 no longer serves city line.
