IRT Bronx Express

While riding the Bx2 to Tremont, there was this dumbass kid that called the B/O a "d*ckhead" at 175th. SMH at these idiots...

Exactly what I was thinking. Unlike qjt, both of you are capable of debating properly, even if it gets out of hand *somewhat*.

VG8 using the smiley in his posts is quite funny to be honest.

149 St and 3rd Ave.

I don't see how Bx41 SBS can save time, especially since there's traffic at Fordham and the traffic lights at Morrisania...

ANYWAYS... How about the removal of the Bx41 LTD? I took the local bus from the Hub to Tremont, and no LTD bus showed up at all. Plus, the traffic lights between 168 and 170 Sts, and traffic at the hub renders LTD service useless.

One thread was invaded (again), thanks to 2 half-brothers here. All I have to say is damn... Both are always bickering at each other EVERYDAY.

Exactly, and there are no express tracks between Hoyt and Canal Sts. Plus, there's that steep hill north of 50th St... all trains have to slow down before reaching that point.

I might run into you one day, since I sometimes transfer to another train there. Random thoughts... don't rely on the train to arrive at a local stop in Brooklyn. Once you see 3 trains bypassing said local stop, then you wish to be at an express stop instead. If you ever see both the & at 59 St/Columbus Circle SB, which one will head to 6th Ave first? Ask the T/O. If you're riding between Hoyt–Schermerhorn Streets and 59 St-Columbus Circle uptown, then it's pointless to ride the .

Well, now that I have a little bit of free time... Bx1LCL/LTD/Bx2LCL--Implement Sunday Bx1 Limited-Stop Service for an All Day Limited-Stop Service (Monday-Friday 6:00 AM-8:00 PM, Saturday 7:00 AM-8:00 PM, and Sunday 8:00 AM-8:00 PM). Extend the Bx2LCL to Riverdale Av/W 231st St along with the Bx1LTD which will be making limited stops between Riverdale Av/W 231st St, and Grand Concourse/E 149th St. I don't know... isn't Concourse generally empty during Sundays? The Bx2 shouldn't be extended to Riverdale b/c the Bx1 runs local after Kingsbridge Hts. One bus is enough IMO. *Bx4LCL/Bx24LTD--Extend the Bx4 service along with the Bx24 to/from Country Club. Replace Bx4A with restructured and extended Bx24 All Day Limited-Stop Service making Limited Stops between Country Club and Westchester Square, then between Parkchester and The Hub, plus local stops between Westchester Square and Parkchester via E Tremont, Castle Hill, and Metropolitan Avs. Like I said, they will object to frequent bus service. They don't deserve the Bx24 at all because there was this bus called the Bx14 and they made NO effort to prevent the TA from eliminating that route. Plus, if Parkchester wants Pelham Bay, they can transfer to the Bx24 at Westchester Sq. Bx15LCL--Discontinue all service south of E 138th St to/from Manhattan all times except late nights (Monday-Friday 11:00 PM-6:00 AM, Saturday 11:00 PM-7:00 AM, and Sunday 11:00 PM-8:00 AM). See Bx55LTD for more details on this change-up routine. Bx55LTD--Reinstate Late Evening and All Weekend Limited-Stop Service (Monday-Friday 6:00 AM-10:00 PM, Saturday 7:00 AM-10:00 PM, and Sunday 8:00 AM-10:00 PM). This service will soon run between either Fordham Plaza or Williamsbridge-E Gun Hill/White Plains Roads, The Bronx and Manhattanvile, Manhattan all day replacing the Bx15LCL route. What difference will it make? If the Bx15 is screwed at 125 St, then how will the Bx55 be reliable there? However, I agree with a weekend restoration of the Bx55, but only Saturdays. *Bx19LCL/Bx49LTD--Split service into 2 different routes, the original BX19LCL, and the newly-implemented All Weekday Only Limited-Stop Service (Monday-Friday 6:00 AM-8:00 PM (southbound), 7:00 AM-9:00 PM (northbound), the Bx49LTD. When Limited-Stop Buses are running, local Bx19 buses begins/ends at W 145th St/Malcolm X Blvd-Lenox Av. Bx49 buses will be making limited stops between NY Botanical Garden in The Bronx, and W 145th St/Malcolm X Blvd-Lenox Av, then runs local to/from Riverbank State Park in Harlem, Manhattan. It's not possible to run LTD service below the White Plains el, much like how the Bx4/4A can't run LTD at Westchester Av. Bx26/Bx28LCL/Bx30--Reinstate service along their original pre-June 2010 routing following the Bx23. See Bx28LCL/Bx38LTD for more details on this change-up routine. *Bx28LCL/Bx38LTD--Restructre Bx28LCL variant (the Bx38) into an All Day Limited-Stop Service (Monday-Friday 6:00 AM-8:00 PM, Saturday 7:00 AM-8:00 PM, and Sunday 8:00 AM-8:00 PM), making all limited stops between Co-Op City-Erskine Place Loop and Fordham Center-E 192nd St. Bx28LCL service will now begin/end at Fordham Center-E 192nd St at all times. This I agree, but would the Bx28 LTD bypass northern Co-op City or not (I'm a bit iffy about that too)? BTW, the original Bx30 route was restored awhile back. *Bx36LCL/Bx46LTD--Split service into 2 different routes, one service will be the Bx36LCL and the other service will be the new Bx36 Limited-Stop variant, the Bx46LTD. The Bx46LTD will run along with the Bx36LCL All Weekday and Saturday only making all limited stops between W 181st St/Amsterdam Av, Manhattan and White Plains Road/Story Av, Bronx with some local stops made here and in Manhattan. I say no. A LTD bus runs like a local bus, and it needs to be axed, like NOW. As a frequent Bx36 rider since 2006, service was more reliable and consistent prior to September 2009. Bx40LCL/Bx42LTD--Bx40 remains as All Time Local, restructure Bx42 into an All Day Limited-Stop Service (Monday-Friday 6:00 AM-10:00 PM, Saturday 6:30 AM-9:30 PM, and Sunday 7:00 AM-9:00 PM) along the whole route. Both buses are rerouted along Schurz Av in both directions. Bx42LTD buses will follow the Bx40LCL making limited stops bewtween River Park Towers and Schurz Av. Bx42 service along Dewey, Balcom, and Randall Avs discontinued and replaced with exteded Bx31. I disagree. The Bx40 runs all times, and it deserves LTD service than the Bx42 since it bypasses the Throgs Neck houses. As the MTA stated at one point, if they couldn't extend the Bx31 to Parkchester via Metropolitan, then the Bx31 extension to Throgs Neck is less likely to happen. Bx41LCL/LTD--Reinstate full service between Wakefileld-241st St and The Hub-E 149th St at all times. Restructure Weekday Rush Hour Limited-Stop Service into All Weekday Only (Monday-Friday 6:00 AM-8:00 PM) making all limited stops along the entire route in both directions. When Limited-Stop Buses are running, Bx41LCL buses will run between Willamsbridge-E Gun Hill/White Plains Roads and The Hub-E 149th St. Bx39 buses will continue to serve Wakefield at all times except late nights. Too bad the TA couldn't think of this ... midday LTD service isn't needed since buses are sometimes empty. Replies in red.

I always thought that the R160s are more overused, which might have lead to mileage problems.

This is the reason why those people objected the Bx8 entering their precious territory. They don't want any frequent bus service at all.

The BxM4 on the Concourse. /inb4VG8arrives

The point I'm trying to make is if the TA wants the to stop at Yankee Stadium, they might as well force all 's to run local in the Bronx and not "bypass" 155 St and 167 St. Didn't the and run local in 2004 when the Concourse express tracks were being repaired?

I can forgive that since there's no Jerome Av express during the rush hours. Plus, the is another option I have, and the ride today was really fast than the from last week.

I don't ride the in the afternoon anymore b/c all of them stop at Yankee Stadium... I prefer to deal with the crowd at Lexington than riding a faux express service.

I still remember that 81 I scored on the Global regents 4 years ago. I found it more interesting than US history, which I scored a 65. I have to say this, despite my "so-called" English grammar being horrid, I scored an 85 on the English regents. I didn't do well for all English classes, yet I found it shocking that I'd score an 85...

Why is it that T2 is so much better than T1 and T3?

So I took the Concourse Express to Norwood, and it turns out that all trains were stopping at 161 St... Why does the have to stop there when the trains are supposed to stop at all the local stops on the Concourse corridor? Really pointless. I'm lucky that this nonsense doesn't happen in the morning, but if it happens, I'll take the instead.
