I never understood why they had that loop thing. It never made sense. 

I guess it was to provide an easier connection to the but honestly, Glennwood should be been a two-way street from the get go if they wanted to do that.

Between bustalk, subchat, and RD back in the day, I remember several people claiming that the B17 shot across ENY (av) & up Troy (instead of turning off to fill that service gap b/w the (then) B47 & the B46....

The B44 SBS was routed onto Rogers to make the route from end to end more DIRECT....

Turning Utica av into a 1-way street NB to run the SB buses on Schenectady would make the B46/SBS more INDIRECT - Regardless of the fact that buses would serve Utica av subway at the Schenectady entrance....

Using the argument that there are other routes that run on 1-way streets through Crown Heights is absolutely & completely irrelevant; it does squat to support the foolish re-routing of the B46 onto Schenectady.... People have been complaining about the lack of local bus service on the B46, and you want to make people's commutes that much more worse by prolonging them, heading in that direction....

Go to bed.

HAHAHA. Making utica ave into a one-way street. Wallyhorse would be jealous

Glenwood road is now a two way street near the Rock Park station, traffic lights installed both ways, yellow lines and SBS machines on both sides of the street.

Nice. Thank f**k that weird loopy thing is eliminated. That was a complete waste of time for southbound B6/B82

Since I’m bored, I’ve decided to list multiple  bus routes with the same terminals (or very close to one another), but have different destination readings:

 

B3: BERGEN BEACH 71 ST

B41: BERGEN BEACH VETERANS AV

 

B14: CROWN HTS UTICA AV 

B17: CROWN HTS EASTERN PKWY

 

B35: SUNSET PARK 1 AV

B70: SUNSET PARK 39 ST-1 AV

 

 

 

Q35: Brooklyn College Flatbush Ave Sta

B11: Midwood Flatbush Ave

Someone wanted the B44SBS to go to KCC?

Yeah...no thanks

I don't get why the can't just say that  trains are suspended between Crescent and Broad and have service cover for lost service south of Essex. Wouldn't that make more sense?

It's the . They never make sense!

Are you really sure about that? From a bus drivers point of view, it is better than having the driver announce the stops themselves.

 

Lets say the B82 LTD has around 50 or so stops. If the automated announcements were not available, then that driver would have to announce all 50 or so stops himself, and that’s going in one direction. Imagine that he had multiple trips to take. That’s a lot of times he has to make announcements, and it adds up real fast. Luckily the new buses have automated announcements reducing the need for the driver to make announcements himself. How can you find automated announcements annoying to the driver?

I knew a bus driver that did EXACTLY that when he was in his usually morning shift on the B7. The dude was ALWAYS driving that bus I was on to go to school 😄

Good luck fitting on that  train... They've already had to start battery runs from 86th to 59th in the morning cause dwells at 86 make them late... With this apparent cut for the Canarsie work its gonna be even worse...

I mean there's always the other Express buses in Brooklyn as well. And the occasional Train that pops up at times

Another garbage R62A 1800s on the  with no A/C (2 consecutive hot cars in a 5-car consist). SMH

Its gonna be a long summer for those on the , , and , eh?

Leave the alone. All the talk about extending the is stupid. The will still have the shuttle buses around especially Brooklyn as Canarsie residents are also the most screwed.

Ok, I'm reposting because the whole "R160S ARE FASTER !11!1!!!1!11 NO R68S ARE FASTER!11!!1!11!!1" thing managed to continue on: Because the  falls short in money on EVERYTHING, I honestly think some kind of budget cut is to happen in the near future. Just my thoughts. 

Hmm...I don't know. With the SAS coming along and the L shutdown, what are they gonna cut? The ?

For f**ks Sake, its irrelevant really. As long as it's gets me from A to B. I could really give two shits about "speed".

R46 on the takes me back...

Did the B35 ever use artic buses? My aunt keeps telling me when she used to ride the B35 back in the days, they had double buses on the B35, and I still can’t figure out how. 

Could it be the old New Flyer Arctics?

It could be related to the  not running in Brooklyn this weekend. 

Whoa. Thats gonna be a headache for those on the night trains. The 4 heads to New Lots at night.

All this bs to avoid a line because of a "certain car". If you weren't in a rush, sure. But purposely avoiding lines and leaving early to get to work? Foh. Such pettiness and definite foam for NTTs. The only thing I can really do is this.........

Basically this. I take any train that comes first! Don't matter which model. Though, I'm still kicking myself for not seeking out a R179 train

How many  2 trains go to New Lots?

Did someone just say that the R46 returned on the G? That gives me memories...

Dude walked out with a couple drinks and a bag full of baked goods I doubt he went to the bathroom. The only thing that annoyed me was all the other buses passing us on Kissena, might just hop on those buses and say ours broke down or something. 

Yeah, that's stupid. They shouldn't do that. Maybe at the end of the route but not during it

Trust.. They be around.. Its a hit and miss, You may be lucky the bus you got on they are not around at the time you're on. The only time I can honestly say they do not board the bus and some of the fare beaters knows is after 8:00pm.  

I don't know. I've only seen them during the day one time back in Nostrand/Clarkson. Must be eating at the Starbucks at Target or something

I actually board the 44SBS a few times and not one eagle team was present. You would think they would be around in the Junction but nope

How many W trains go to Brooklyn?
