Bx41 Wakefield Posted January 23, 2010 Share #1 Posted January 23, 2010 Some buses may not stop at the advertised distance and some could uses a destination sign change. Here are some. Bx8 WILLAMSBRIDGE-226 ST- Where the bus terminates. Bx12 INWOOD-BWAY-207 ST because it was a better signage Bx31/34 WOODLAWN-242 ST to match the BxM4B signage Bx41 THE HUB-149 ST since that is the true last stop.

RTS CNG Command Posted January 23, 2010 Share #6 Posted January 23, 2010 Oh you don't like abbreviations, lol. Well, for me, I'm okay with them. But when they become jumbled and very hard to decipher, then that's just lazy bus sign design. For me, I would change the signs to have "East" and "West" on them, depending if the location or road they travel on have one of them. Example: M5: LIMITED M5: GREENWICH VILL÷W. HOUSTON ST M5: via 5 AV Another I'd like to see changed: BM3: SHEEPSHEAD BAY÷SHORE BL BM3: via OCEAN AV÷ via EMMONS AV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B35 via Church Posted January 23, 2010 Share #16 Posted January 23, 2010 Modernizing bus signs... Interesting... Some of these, I'm not sure they'd be totally beneficial, but here we go anyway: S62| Travis Wild Av S62|via Victry Bl same w/ the X11 (except for the Victory Bl. part)... leave the (name of neighborhood here) only destination signage for suburban bus routes...... B17|Canarsie P15-E80 Sts B17|via Remsen Av via Rkwy Pky Sta I think the current B17 Paerdegat branch signage is ok as is (canarsie - E80th st).... riders know of the huge difference b/w the bus serving Av. L, etc. & the bus running along Seaview, to E 108th.... M9|Union Sq 4th Av-14th St M9|via Water St via Avenue B Maybe they can add the Av B. to it, but otherwise, I think the current signage is okay B82|Bath Bch 25-Cropsey Avs B82|via Flatlands Av via Kings Hwy I mentioned this in another thread... while I agree that that area isn't Bensonhurst, I dunno, I wouldn't consider that Bath Beach either... I think it's more Gravesend than anything... B6|LIMITED B6|Bensonhurst Harway-B37 B6|via Av H via Bay Pkwy I don't know about using Harway / Bath 37th st, but I think, somehow, the shopping ctr. out there should be mentioned in the signage (as it does that "loop").... and it runs on Bay pkwy longer than it does on any other street, so maybe that's why they don't include any of the other sts. it runs on... But since the route is a lifeline in Canarsie, I can see why you think some other street it runs on, should be in the destination sign of the B6... X38|Sea Gate West 37 St X38|via FDR DR via Cropsey Av Probably not necessary, but.... True. M21|Bellvue Hosp 1 Av-27 St M21|via Houston via Av C I agree with this... would reflect the area the route runs through, perfectly... currently it just says BELLEVUE - 1av-27th st... B45|Ocean Hill Ralph Av B45|via St Johns I know the sign doesn't mention Ocean Hill... but I forgot what it currently states... B8|Brownsville Rockaway Av B8|via 18 Av via Av D I can agree to this... could find a way to throw in Brookdale (hospital) if need be.... Bx42|Morris Hts River Pk Twrs Bx42|via Tremont Av and the Bx40? River park towers accurately defines that immediate area where it terminates anyway... I think the 40/42 signage is fine.... B100|Mill Basin Strickland Av B100|via Fillmore Av via E 66 St I don't disagree, but how about this... a Mill basin bound bus only says the 'via E. 66th st'... and the Kings Hwy sta. bound buses says the 'via Fillmore av' M2|Washington Hts B'way-168 St M2|via Madison Av via Powell Bl M2|LIMITED I think the M2 signage is okay Q11|Elmhurst Queens Bl Q11|via Woodhaven Bl What does it currently say? I have more ideas, but they haven't come yet. my reply, bolded. Cool.... I await them bro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R62A 1991 Posted January 23, 2010 Share #18 Posted January 23, 2010 Modernizing bus signs... Interesting... my reply, bolded. Cool.... I await them bro. Reply to your comments, and thanks for commenting! S62: That's my theory behind that one. B17: Okay, I can agree with that too. I thought the via Rkwy Pkwy would be more beneficial, but if they know, that's fine then. M9: My theory is that I added Av C to the M21, and the M14 branches already have an Avenue destination. B82: Gravesend would be fine too. I just took the neighborhood off of the schedule (it says Bath Beach in that area). B6: There's a shopping center over there? It can have its own signage then. This one was hard. I wanted to include Glenwood Road, but then again, it's not that long. Maybe that's why they haven't included any vias here. X38: I know...I'm kind of a stickler for signs, it's my pet peeve. M21: Agreed. B45: It says Crown Hts÷Ralph Av. That area is more Ocean Hill, apparently. And there's no "via" currently. B8: If needed, yes. It does pass by, and could have its own sign. Bx40/42: It can have the same sign, I didn't include it because this was my list. I guess I just want "Riv Pk Twr" to be spelled out a bit more now that they have some LED signs. B100: Why not? It can work that way too. Q11: It says: Elmhurst÷Woodhaven Bl Sta/via Woodhaven Bl. That's a bit redundant in my eyes, which is why I changed it to Queens Bl. My theory is that the Q46 says "Kew Gardens÷Queens Bl," not Kew Gardens÷Union Tpke Sta. Again, thanks for the comments, very insightful. Still can't locate the other list that I made, so maybe I'll make a new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricknologist Posted January 23, 2010 Share #19 Posted January 23, 2010 The majority of them need to be more specific, IMO. The street it terminates on & closet intersection would be ideal. Or if it terminates at a landmark, include the street it terminates on(like on the M104). For example, the B60 towards Canarsie: Canarsie(the neighborhood it terminates in) Williams Av.(the street it terminates on) -Flatlands Av.(the closest intersection).

PATCOman Posted January 24, 2010 Share #22 Posted January 24, 2010 I wish some of the signs had VIAs on them i.e: Bx9: RIVERDALE/263 STREET Bx9: VIA BROADWAY Same goes for the Q54 which does not state it is going on Metropolitan Avenue when it does for most of its route. The M101 should also acknowledge Amsterdam Avenue as its main streets. The M100 states it, but travels for a shorter distance on Amsterdam than the M101. A few years back, this was on the Bx15: Bx15: WEST HARLEM/12 AVENUE Bx15: VIA 3 AVE/VIA 125 STREET The Bx15 is the TRUE 125 Street crosstown! There are more, but I can't think of them now.
