Has there been anything that’s has come out of the meeting about the B82 SBS that was supposedly happening Friday 

1. We get freshly paved bus lanes on Pennsylvania Avenue 

2.theres all this construction on glenwood rd and around the Rockaway Parkway station 

3.there are bus land makers along flatlands Ave

4.Eny depots are getting their brands new bus and there sbs wrapped and it goes straight on the b82

Is this all a coincidence or is the b82 actually coming soon ?

Are the Staten Island Express routes going to use the same code but with the route change (if that's the correct term) the week before the change? (For example: X1 to SIM1)

----------- 

Also, 1001-1012, 1014 is on the Bx6 SBS as the New Flyer XN40 unwrapping will start soon. 720 is unwrapped from the previous note. 

XN60 1075,1078 is now on the B35

Which part.. Canarsie end?

Also, the bus lanes on Penn Avenue.. Are they 24 hours or the usual 7AM-7PM M-F?

Are there any depot assignments for these buses 

LFS - where are they going ?

XN60 - West farms and Jackie Gleason only?

XD40 - what other depots besides Flatbush and Eny are these units?

Would 7616 & 7617 head to Flatbush since they are ready and wrapped for SBS service? Will the allotments change for Bush and East New York change as a result of the SBS82 being postponed? 

Noticed that 9503 is still at the facility and hasn't been delivered over to Grand Avenue. I'm only guessing that GA is making room thus getting rid of some 40xx buses and presumably some RTS to make room for the XDE's? Correct? 

The B82 SBS is not postponed. That’s just a rumor going around , The MTA nor the DOT did not confirm the B82 is  being postponed 

Today I seen construction at glenwood  Ave near the rockaway parkway station on the side that’s supposed to be turned into a way bus lane . That whole section was being worked on 

however im not sure or positive it is sbs related

But what's the point in saying you are postponing it to get more comments, then cutting off the comments. It just shows how dishonest the entire process has been. 

Honestly I don’t think they are postponing it . Work and construction is still being done and the DOT wants sbs on the 82 so there going to put it on the 82 .

And the B41 will face even more opposition than the B82. The Flatbush Avenue merchants are dead set against it after seein the results on Nostrand and on Utica. 

Assemblyman Cymbrowitz announced it on Facebook before that article came out. He wouldn't have done that f it weren't true. And sometimes when it's in the paper, you can't believe it's true. Courier Life announced about three months ago that a B44 SBS stop would be added at Avenue R. Then the MTA changed their mind after DOT and the MTA both agreed, and the stop was not installed. 

I find it so weird that the Brooklyn sbs routes are facing the most opposition

That is correct. The 41 should of been artic years ago.

But Flatbush isn’t on the roster for any of the new xd60s or New Lfsa

I'll say this.. It may have some red flags. However, there hasn't really been movement on the Canarsie side for SBS82 with exception or Remsen Avenue, and Ralph Avenue.

Haven't seen any construction along Utica Avenue and along Avenue K.

What do you mean every stop has the machine stands expect for rockaway Parkway station east of Ralph all the way to spring Creek

The problems at Rockaway Parkway Station can be solved without SBS.

Buy turning Glenwood into a 2 way Street for buses it would cut time by a lot . It would not have to the long loop around and save time and traffic

I highly doubt the B82 SBS has been postponed. That "article" has some serious red flags.

I hope it isn’t sbs would do serious would do serious wonders to the B82

I don’t understand these people in Southern Brooklyn. They aren’t the only  area with delays along the B82 look at rockaway station going around that small area can take up to 20 mins the whole route is prone to delays . The people of Southern Brooklyn are making it such a big deal . The 82 isn’t the only sbs route that had problems and protest . You complain about lack of service and efficiency but then what the mta tries to implement something you guys protest . Now delaying the B82 sbs for all communities along the route . Which are all in need of better service

Utica, Avenue K, and Kings Hwy all cross each other. Its an sbs stop but they're setting up temp machines while they construct the bulbs so people have somewhere to get on until its finished. 

Ave K meets with Flatlands Ave

No it’s Ave H

Just now, Future ENY OP said:

I'm trying to figure out the same thing....

If it did ENY and The Real would let us know. Gut feeling the next order of the LFSA would go to Manhattan and the Bronx to bump out the rest of the older LFSA buses and retire the D60s. Until bus company get their buses ENY artics will be scattered. I think half are going to Quill for the time being and the other half is on the Q52 sbs. 

But doesn’t the Queens depot only want and only use new flyer xd60s for their artic routes hence why they converted  the Q44 to an xd60 route, so I don’t the Lfs will go to the Q52 

Also I herd that the new Nova Lfs artic 2017-2018 will be sent to ENY for the b82sbs along with Gun Hill and Michael J Quill , but others are saying the b82sbs will use xd40s until there are new xd60s which is true ?

The sbs machine stands are up they  are currently 2 of them at Flatlands and remsen spring creek bound 

Along with b103,b15,35 what are some other Brooklyn routes that need artics and how soon could they come

Jamaica to Downtown Brooklyn = Too long. 

1) it's essentially an Atlantic Center to Jamaica via Atlantic Avenue & LIRR. Atlantic Avenue is already traffic proned. Bad enough you don't have TSP or bus lane signaling on all Brooklyn routes. 

2) Ridgewood to Jamaica (This proposal is very new). Didn't know that was in consideration. What route(s) will be used? Will it come out of Grand, Fresh Pond or Jamaica depots? 

3) Ridgewood to Downtown Brooklyn. At least this proposal is picking a bit of steam. For right now it's possibly coming out of Grand and XD60's will be used. However, the routing is still undetermined. 

I would say going via myrtle the whole route
