FYI related but slightly off topic what happened to talks and rumors going back at least 4-5 years when the B13 was extended there about sending the B103 to Brooklyn Gateway Mall?

Shortline Bus Posted August 29, 2009 Share #4 Posted August 29, 2009 DOT denied the proposed change to extend the B103 to the shopping center DOT no longer runs the B103 and thought maybe the by now could do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B35 via Church Posted August 29, 2009 Share #5 Posted August 29, 2009 DOT denied the proposed change to extend the B103 to the shopping center As well they should have... The main objective of the 103 is to make the commute easier from Canarsie (and that general area) to Downtown Brooklyn (& vice versa).... If riders want the mall, they can walk from the nearest stop in downtown to the mall, to the physical mall itself. DOT no longer runs the B103 and thought maybe the by now could do it? Why, though? All the ppl. that need the 103, are going to get on it before it ever reaches Atlantic av anyway..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forest Glen Posted August 29, 2009 Share #6 Posted August 29, 2009 I still wish the B103 was an intra-borough express like it used to be instead of just another Limited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJC Posted August 30, 2009 Share #7 Posted August 30, 2009 if people want to go to the mail,they take the 82 to the 83-call it a day. The 103 doesn't even feel like LTd bus route...it make too many stops now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R32 3348 Posted August 30, 2009 Share #8 Posted August 30, 2009 I guess this means that Spring Creek depot stays open 7 days a week instead of closing on Sunday, and might possibly mean that FR loses the B100 as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trainfan22 Posted August 31, 2009 Share #15 Posted August 31, 2009 Now CNG RTS 4904 which is housed @ SC can be displayed at Bus roadeos & Bus fests now that the depot is open on sundays! I remeber when I went by SC a few months ago and there it was lookin' nice and shiny. Sadly, last time I went by SC that bus was not parked out in the open. Slighty off topic but when Command bus was around did the B100 run on sundays? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the B100 in the Command days would not operate at all on major holidays like New Years, July 4th, thanksgiving and Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grand Concourse Posted September 7, 2009 Share #25 Posted September 7, 2009 It's going to be kinda weird to see SC hybrids on the B100 on Sundays as opposed to the Far Rockaway ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
