Re: Your new avatar. I like the idea of a Concourse SBS and had been thinking about it for a while, but I think there should just be a Bx1 SBS. No Bx2 SBS. I think the Bx2 should be extended to Riverdale Av at all times, and the Bx1 SBS should operate via 231, Bailey, Van Cortlandt Av West, Sedgwick and then follow the current Bx1 route to Mitchell Houses. Stops would be on 231 at Riverdale Av, Broadway, then 238/Bailey, Sedgwick/VC Avs, Tracey Towers, Bedford, Kingsbridge, Fordham, Burnside, Tremont, Mt Eden, 170, 167, 165, 161, 149, and 138/3 Av.

Bx2 local would operate via 231, Bailey, Albany Cres, Heath, Fort Independence, Sedgwick, and then it would loop around the block (South on Concourse, 149, Courtlandt, 3rd, 138, and then head back north on the Concourse) for the few people that still want Concourse/144 and Concourse/138. The loop routing would eliminate all those bad turns the N/B Bx2 has to make to get from 3 Av to 149 St. Passengers would be entitled to loop privileges.

What is your avatar?

Who is that guy in your avatar?

Hey BJC. Hope you are well. I know it has been a while since we last spoke.

I'm not sure. I haven't kept in touch with him. Try googling him or going through old subtalk and subchat threads. The only information I have is that he called himself Booge on said message boards.

I got it from an old subtalker/subchatter named Booge. In exchange I gave him a CD with some of my transit photographs on it. He suggested we make that exchange so I could get that map in addition to a 1976 Brooklyn bus map, 1989 Queens bus map, 1997 Queens bus map, and 1982 (I believe) Manhattan bus map.

I do, why?

"Dropping seeds." Very engaging vocabulary sir.

I think this forum still holds its own. The problem is that the world is misbehaving a lot and so some of it seeps its way onto here. It's a bunch of bullshit going on out there: The B35 incident, the guy that got mugged at 4th Av-9th St, etc. Sometimes it leads to internal tensions unfortunately. It doesn't have to be this way. Mitigating this vicious cycle of unfortunate events and ill feelings requires a strong constitution.

Wow. I didn't know so and so happened until I saw these last two messages. Feel better Knight Rider.
