This is on the weekend, so  service is a non-issue.

The  terminates at Roosevelt Island because the switch replacement part of this is at 21 St. You can turn trains at Roosevelt Island - see this map:

I believe the system should be a basic grid system where possible. That doesn't mean you can't have L shaped routes where necessary because of major destinations like Penn Station. What I oppose are unnecessary turns like the B49 turning off to go serve Rogers Avenue for no good reason when it could continue straight along Ocean Avenue. Even the Sheepshead Bay Station turnoff that I designed now needs to be reevaluated because of all the increased traffic traffic in the last 40 years. I also oppose U shaped routes like the Q38. That's why I eliminated the B21. 

As for a pure grid system all over, first of all it isn't even possible because there are too many grid irregularities and it would require much more walking to reach your destination. In fact, Denver tried it back in in the late 70s when it was run by John Simpson. The transit magazines published favorable articles how Simpson came to Denver and in a few months eliminated many turns so the routes could all be straighter and quicker and how they saved on operating costs, knowing nothing about the system. (He was previously from NYC.) So NYC hired him around 1980 as the first NYCTA president. (Prior to that the head was called the chief executive officer.) Then a year later, the ridership numbers were released and it was discovered that the switch to the pure grid system caused massive ridership losses and switches to other modes because many who were previously a few blocks from a bus route now had to walk a half mile to reach one. But he already had the job here. 

The same thing would happen now. You can't design a system simply by doing what looks nice on a map, as Simpson proved. 

The routes need to be long to minimize transfers but most services should be short based on travel patterns to improve reliability. Routes need to overlap like the B5 and B50 once did, not be split in half to increase transferring. We shouldn't be increasing the numbers who need to pay double fare as that and SBS are doing, as long as Cuomo refuses to grant extra free transfers. 

you should make your own map of all the busses

one route i have is the X from coney island to willamsburg via the f g and L then it splits at graham and then goes to either cooper park houses or ms 126

all you need is a little bit of knowledge of the nyc mta subways and all your imagination make your own route or even bring back and remodel old subway routes and make then go anywhere like the 9 to westchester or the P to six flags anything you want

Create a bus route is so EASY! You can reply stops if you want to BUT it will be too much. so reply at least 2 replies only. All you do is just create your bus number and boroughs for ex (Made up or real): B40, M62, Bx66, S23, Q103, X14. After you do that, tell the northern and southern terminal stop and tell where it will be running for ex: via 18th Avenue and via 116th Street. So good luck. It beings... now!

can i make a sub pat called make your own subway route

i was on that bus and i was scared as hell

As promised, I am releasing my bus network redesign for Brooklyn after many months of work and revisions. It does not include the express bus network. It consists of about 20 pages of text and about 75 pages of maps. And, yes, I am aware there already is a thread for Brooklyn proposals, but I think this deserves its own.

It also discusses the MTA's planning efforts in the other boroughs criticizing the approaches being taken. It also contains much system history. I would be pleased to hear comments, and of course it is subject to revision.

This is Version 3.0.

since the site's been down, I've been working on my map.... all I basically gotta do is add text.... anyway, I have the:

 

- B1 remaining the same

- B4 running from knapp/voorhies to 86th/4th (via av z, via 86th)

- B64 running from mermaid bus loop to 86th/4th (via bath av, via VA hospital)

- B31 remaining the same

- B2 extended to Xaverian HS (via av P)

- B16 altered to serve ft. hamilton pkwy where it currently doesn't, also cut back to parkside

- and the "B23" running from ft hamilton pkwy/86th st to Rockaway Pkwy

(via 13th/14th av's, via church av , via cortelyou...)

 

there's other ideas I have, but I'll just list the ones relevant/related to your reply here....

-----------------------------

 

 

- As for a B36 LTD, nah, no dice.... south BK needs all the local service it can get right now; that's one of the last routes that needs to be skipping stops anywhere along its route....

 

- As for B64 making trips to CI during rush hour.... Well, I think that route should be reverted to serving mermaid loop in its totality.... the route as is, is just about useless....

is there a link for said map

like really mta if your gonna make the busses say this stuff make em stay saying that stuff basically bring em back

heres what i dont get i saw a hour ago a B61 saying queens plaza it hasnt gone there for years then i saw a B13 saying graham ave metropolitan ave

You can do whatever you want, I do 1 in each borough.

but there is already a B41

its like a limited version of the twenty four then when it makes he slight right onto woodward its its own route

until it goes with the 13 then its a skip stop

one idea i have is the B94 from willamsburg plaza to gateway center mall it would follow the B24 up to metropolitan then continue down meeker till kingsland ave then turn right then turn right again at woodpoint roadthen it would continue on to bushwick ave and the follow the old B13 bus route then when it gets to the hospital on weekends it will end there but on weekdays it will go all the way to gateway center mall in ENY
