Orion Posted September 4, 2009 Share #28 Posted September 4, 2009 http://mta.info/nyct/bus/schedule/bronx/bx036cur.pdf Check the map on the Last page, the 2 problems I see so far is that it only stops at Crotona Av E/B and theres no LTD stop in Parkchester which is weird Westchester Avenue is Parkchester. Yup, wats the point of the Bx40 and Bx42 going Local between the River towers and Harding Ave. I would start Bx42LTD from Randall(Or Bruckner Blvd) to University Ave/E. Burnside. Bx40 can be the local, becuz that route is one long a$$ crosstown bus sounds like the Q60 from Queens Plaza to Jamica. During Rush hours its packed from 3rd Ave i think to West Farms and Parkchester for lines and Lehman HS. It would make more sense for the Bx40 since it doesn't serve the projects in Throgs Neck like the Bx42. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark1447 Posted September 4, 2009 Share #29 Posted September 4, 2009 here we go again Awesome man! When i get my newer cam m gonna hunt down the Bx36 LTDs! Westchester Avenue is Parkchester. It would make more sense for the Bx40 since it doesn't serve the projects in Throgs Neck like the Bx42. I only picked Bx42 since the Bx40 runs all times unlike the Bx42 which doesnt run over night. Plus the Bx40 heads down to Fort Schuyler which is a bit farther~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q43LTD Posted September 4, 2009 Share #30 Posted September 4, 2009 It'd be better to have the LTDs go to Fordham and have locals turn at 206. That's what I meant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only picked Bx42 since the Bx40 runs all times unlike the Bx42 which doesnt run over night. Plus the Bx40 heads down to Fort Schuyler which is a bit farther~ Yeah it could be like the Q44 and Q20. When the Q20 is running the Q44 is Limited, and roughly any other time it's local. The Bx40 could do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bx40 could do that. True on Q44/Q20AB similar to he Bz40/42. If you mean Bx40 as LTD similar to the Q44 well cant argure with that lol I got a question tho. the Bx1/Bz2 run limited stop together why not just one routw be the Local and the other as LTD? Cuz concourse trains can be used instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they made those buses strictly local, most would get the train instead...... The buses are actually quicker for many people since the and now aren't frequent off peak. Someone going short distances, say from from 194th (Kingsbridge) to 200th (Bedford Park) would be better off many times (except maybe rush hours when ( and both run) taking the bus or walking instead of waiting for the (which can often be late). Sometimes the is held at 200th/Bedford Park for several minutes making the bus an even better option for someone going at least until Fordham (189th). Adding more people to the after the ( stops running in the AM and PM, not a good idea. The actually exceeds MTA's off peak loading guidelines at some places during middays in the Bronx (like 167 and 161). Maybe the ( should run to 167 during middays and evenings for a while as a test Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would then run the Bx1 LTD and Bx2 Local from 149th up to Sedgwick ave.. I'll just say this. The Bx41 is the farebeat Express, and the Bx1/2 is the farebeat Limited. You generally have to pay to get the train. You don't really have to for the bus. MTA only wants ridership numbers, not fare numbers as much. Bx1/2 is a very high ridership line, so that is why it is there. I don't really ride the ( or , but they have more than enough room to me, from the few times I have been on there, to accommodate quite a bit more on the Grand Concourse stretch.......

GreatOne2k Posted September 5, 2009 Share #41 Posted September 5, 2009 about 7-8 minutes at best saved riding the whole route usually waiting about 5 minutes and gaining 3 minutes Actually up to 15 minutes can be saved E/B, up to 8 minutes W/B E/B times end to end, notice how the first E/B LTD (afternoon) passes TWO buses Bronx bound buses LCL 2:11 2:37 2:54 3:02 3:22 3:30 LCL 2:17 2:43 3:00 3:08 3:28 3:36 LTD 2:23 2:44 2:55 3:01 3:18 3:27 This is good if someone rides the Bx36 for long distances especially E/B 6:38 - 9:57; 2:23 - 7:31 E/B 6:40 - 8:45; 2:46 - 6:20 W/B this service span is so obviously one sided towards E/B service Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
