Kriston Lewis Posted May 21, 2010 Share #10 Posted May 21, 2010 I wonder why couldn't they just bite the bullet and run limited-stop service during the midday hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cotb16 Posted May 21, 2010 Share #12 Posted May 21, 2010 I'm glad the B82 is getting LTD service, especially for those nurses and Home Health Aides that live in Southeast Brooklyn and work in the Southwest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cotb16 Posted May 21, 2010 Share #13 Posted May 21, 2010 Lack of demand. Not to mention more riders tend to use the Q59 during the midday since it goes to Williamsburg and Queens Center Mall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kriston Lewis Posted May 21, 2010 Share #17 Posted May 21, 2010 Not to mention more riders tend to use the Q59 during the midday since it goes to Williamsburg and Queens Center Mall. If that's the case, then why is there no limited-stop service between Noon and 3 on weekdays? I stand by my opinion. I could understand if the B82 is a rush hour deal, but when you're running buses from 5 to 9 and then from 12 to 8 people are bound to wait for a Limited-Stop bus that won't ever show up.

I could understand if the B82 is a rush hour deal, but when you're running buses from 5 to 9 and then from 12 to 8 people are bound to wait for a Limited-Stop bus that won't ever show up. You could make that argument for any Limited-stop bus that runs both directions during rush hours (for example: the Q25, Q65, Bx41, S89, S93). People will figure out that the bus doesn't run middays. I find it interesting that they think that there is enough demand for weekend service, but not midday service. I guess weekends, people are going out shopping and to the movies, whereas middays, a lot of the riders are at work/school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People will figure out that the bus doesn't run middays. The thing with those routes is that there is no service outside a relatively strict rush hour period. Here, service runs way past the peaks until noon or as late as 9pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric B Posted May 22, 2010 Share #21 Posted May 22, 2010 Oh, so the 58, finally. I still would rather have a branch of it cut across Eliot and Horace Harding. Just like the 38 (How's that been working), I didn't think LTD would really help with all the traffic on a rather narrow street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like the 38 (How's that been working), I didn't think LTD would really help with all the traffic on a rather narrow street. Maybe you just realized it. Eric this is about the B82 the South Booklyn(Kings Highway/Canarise) bus line finally getting limited stop service. There is another topic about the Q58. The B82 should be a limited imo all day weekdays since that line passes near at least 7 high schools and dozens of other public schools as well. Not to mention i feel a few buses during the rush hour's should be called the B82x and not stop and make the loop at the Rockaway Pwy. station. Also a question? Will the B82 have 'shorter trip' local buses? If so, i guess it will run between Rockaway Pwy station and 25th Ave/Harway in Bensonhurst as i dont see it mention anywhere in the pdf.
