    There are 2 sbs proposals one from  ridgewood to Jamaica and ridgeweood to downtown Brooklyn. Why don’t  they make it one route , a sbs route from Jamaica to downtown Brooklyn it would be efficient and would have a lot of use throughout the whole route and would eliminate transferring

    I think the B16 could work, it's certainly an interesting proposal. My only problem is that it's basically the B60 and B42 into one route with an extension to Queens, and I'm not sure if there's such a high demand for people wanting to go from Canarsie to Atlas Mall, especially when Gateway Center is probably a lot closer for people in Brooklyn.

    As for the B22, I don't see it working too well, since it's basically just a combination of the B25 (which runs 1-2 blocks away from your proposed routing) and the Q24 (which follows most of the eastern portion of your route). Not to mention that traffic along Atlantic Avenue can be terrible at times. Plus, there's the problem with the actual demand for the route. If a lot of people transfer from the Q24 to the B25 or vice versa, then I'd say that this route could probably work but that's not the case. You also have the (A) and the (J) running parallel to both the B25 and Q24 respectively, and to your proposed route as well, so if people did want the commute from Pier 6 to Jamaica, I'm sure most people would rather just take the train.

    For the B16 I doubt that people would be on the bus from end to end , however as it head north it’s would get fuller and fuller due to people wanted to head towards queens from rockaway and cooper Aves

    Did not forget about this post.

     

    1) Regarding the B71, I can agree to everything mentioned in your post. If the B77 gets revived, I would have it cover portions of the old B71 route then (instead of going to Prospect Park), and 7 Avenue. Late night service would likely terminate at Grand Army, daytime services runs to Brooklyn Avenue or to Interfaith.

     

    2) Regarding the B23, that's actually more or less my proposed B23 route. My route goes to Shore Road, because:

     

    1. It would act as an alternative to the B1 bus route along 86 Street

    2. My proposed B64 route (which also serves 86 Street west of 13 Avenue) would layover via 3 Avenue, 87 Street, and Ridge Boulevard

    3. It can cut down on the trippers the B16 needs (ATH mentioned something similar previously)

     

    Additionally, I didn't want to not serve 86 Street & 4 Avenue. Now, it could replace the B16 down to Shore Road & 4 Avenue, but I wonder how far people are going from the nursing home on Shore Road & 91 Street. I've always seen them pass the (R), but in some cases, these people are on well after the bus after it turns off Fort Hamilton Parkway. Don't know if that's always the case.

     

    Now, where would you send it on the eastern end? I originally wanted to send it to Canarsie Plaza during the rush hour (via Avenue D), but I didn't want to create another long route. Therefore, I did extended to the Newkirk Avenue (2)(5) station. I would have sent it to the Junction, but the B103 already does that.

    Sending it to Canarsie plaza isn't a bad idea , maybe even sending up remsen to church to terminate

    Why does Gleason needs artics, which route the 35?

     

    yes

     

    Eny will only have xd60 no Lfs ? , what routes would get them besides 15,82 ?

     

    nope, only the B15 and eventual B82 SBS

     

    Flatbush- aren't the 46 going to get artics eventually?

     

    it's been determined that the B46 doesn't need artics

     

     

     

    If there is artics left after the main routes get the , which secondary routes would get them out of Eny and Gleason ?

    Gleason will get theirs when the first XN60s show up early next year or whenever.

     

    ENY will get theirs whenever they figure out if they getting new XD60s or the used Bronx ones lol.

     

    Grand Av is getting some eventually, bottom of the totem pole.

     

    Flatbush already has artics.

     

    Fresh Pond and Ulmer Park aren't getting any.

    Whenever this (L) shutdown starts, should the MTA temporarily take the B42 out of (the special bus stop at) Canarsie (L) & have em run up to Rockaway av (3)? Meaning, buses would run from the Bayview houses to Rockaway av (3).... Free xfers would then be induced for the (3).... Nothing would have to happen to the B60 as a result of this....

     

    I'm inquiring this because again, you're not going to get too many Canarsie patrons to xfer to A's, C's, J's, and Z's as a compromise....

     

    ....and on another note, when is that station rehabilitation along the (3) supposed to be completed?

     

    Not much people would utilize it
