The BxM7 overnight service (making most BxM8 stops) should be restored and made permanent.

The should keep the Bx39 below Pelham Parkway, now riders are going to be stranded with few late night options.

Especially since the fare was always required on Express buses!
Express buses were free overnight last year (except Staten Island).

Some people who take the overnight buses will now have worse commutes since not every bus stays near a subway line (Bx39 riders, BxM7 riders)

The Bx39 (at least 30 minute headways) and BxM7 should keep their overnight service. The BxM4 helps the Woodlawn area overnight since the Bx34 lost overnight service in 2010.

We're also considering pushing to keep lines like the BxM7 remaining overnight once the subway re-opens fully to 24/7 again.
In that case BxM7 should make local BxM8 stops whenever the BxM8 isn't running (including late Sunday evenings southbound)

Some people actually will have worse commutes when overnight service is restored (Soundview, Co Op City, Clason Pt, 3 Av Bronx, Woodlawn (Heights), far West Side Manhattan). The subway closure has actually improved service in areas away from the subway overnight.

To clarify, I am NOT thinking about the current schedule due to COVID. I'm talking about the regular schedule, both during the week and on weekends. Plenty of swmi-express trains serve Marble Hill.
My proposal is based on the current schedule due to COVID, since that will likely be the schedule for a while.

The Melrose station isn't run down at all.
Most trains do stop at Marble Hill, peak and off-peak, hence my confusion.
Most express trains skip Marble Hill, my proposal was to have all (or most) express trains stop at Marble Hill, especially when local service is hourly to double service to that station (as well as Fordham).

What do you mean by off-peak express stations?
All (or most) trains would stop there during hourly service outside rush hours. At one time Marble Hill was an off peak express station.

Marble Hill and Fordham should become off peak express stations to increase service at little to no cost and to boost ridership by making service slightly more attractive.

MTA is supposed to be reimbursed for any losses for MTA Bus, so cutting express bus service won't save MTA money in the long term, it just increases the NYC Ferry budget.

Yeah, I'll just wait until the metrocard gets phased out (whenever that's supposed to happen) to start using OMNY... Right now as it is, I can't be bothered.
Jesus christ, is this what this is coming down to? Talk about priorities.... Sports trivia within the god damn subway system.... Can't make this shit up.
Drastic impending subway cuts on the horizon & I'm supposed to rack my brain on what old fart did what on which team when, or how many times? Yeah, I'm good.... I don't even listen to sports radio anymore (and it's something I used to do every day)....

Bx20 had its Sunday service cut in 1995

for the life of me, i don't understand the "obsession" with sending a line to LGA from the pelham side of the Bx. iinm more of the bronx residents who are employed at LGA reside in the western bronx, at least from what I've personally seen since I've been working in the bronx. i wouldn't want them sending Bx41's to LGA, but i know that for the time being, people tolerate taking the Bx15 to two-five for the sbs60. if there was a one-seat ride from the Bronx to LGA from the hub or Fordham Road, i believe it'd do significantly better than this Q50 to LGA garbage
This does help those in the east Bronx not living by a subway by eliminating the double fare to LGA (since there is no three legged transfer to the M60-SBS). Also Q50-LTD to LGA is much cheaper than a Bx50-SBS since the city will help pay for the Q50 (assuming they still have the MTA Bus reimbursement of some sorts), but won't pay for the Bx50.

Buses will still be free from 1am to 5am

I forget but do they have the M34 running all night? (I would assume so since the
is out)
In any case, I suspect they'll cut the overnight BxM4 and BM2 at some point, saying people can take the Bx99 and M99 respectively. Can't have people too used to taking express buses now can we? (My guess is it might also have something to do with applying for federal reimbursement...maybe by showing it's a late night-only route it shows they weren't planning on adding overnight service to an existing route...IDK...)
Woodlawn (Heights) will be stranded overnight again since the BxM4 is the only service running overnight to that area.

They probably think the express buses are free all the time, not just 1-5am

I don't know what you mean by gaps, but again, this is only temporary overnight service being done on overtime, so there are no gaps to be filled.
The gap I was referring to was the gap between the last regular Bx39 and the first enhanced Bx39. Also there is a gap for anyone going northbound on the upper
after 1am since the first enhanced northbound Bx39 doesn't get to Bronx Park East until well after 2am, and the trains are exit only after 1am.

That’s because this weekend hasn’t got here yet. The new overnight service began two days ago
Until they redo the schedules the Bx39 is going to have gaps 7 days a week as through service doesn't begin until 1am from 241 St. Northbound service below Gun Hill Road has no service at all for a while.

The Bx39 is running the full route during the overnight hours and is handled by WF
There are still Gun Hill Road buses between 12:00-1:30am (11:30pm-1:30am on weekends), so there are still gaps in service. After 1:30, there are two Bx39 buses overnight, one goes to Clason Pt, the other goes to Gun Hill Rd and becomes a Bx41

They should extend Bx39 buses at 11:30(weekends only) 12:00, 12:30, and 1:00am from Gun HIll Road to Clason Point and run them back up from Clason Pt at 12:35, 1:05, and 1:35am to keep some kind of consistent service running since there is a gap in service. Cut the Bx41 buses back to Gun Hill Road completely instead of running them as Bx39 shuttles.

41 is going to lose an afternoon trip, even worse the 40 that will replace it is going to end at Mt Vernon, not good for those going to the Bronx, looks like they want everyone going to the Bronx to be packed on the 20 and only have the 60 as an alternative from White Plains.

Looks like Bee Line is going to change a 41 trip to a 40 trip in the PM and cut it back from 241 St to Mt Vernon, a step backward for Bronx service (and south Mt Vernon).

The
would have to run to Brooklyn Bridge all night to replace the 
in this case. If the Clark Street Tunnel was closed, they would be more likely to do this, though they have ran the 
overnight to replace the 
before.
