Gorgor Posted January 21, 2012 Share #426 Posted January 21, 2012 Not a route really, but here's a possible solution for running buses down Broadway.

Threxx Posted January 24, 2012 Share #427 Posted January 24, 2012 (edited) Here is another Brooklyn Route, the B18 B). Details are in the doc. DOC: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1bJHHXZzDfsBwSyrLtaKZaXhjSy4c32FCwNwpvgZ100E/edit Here is a Manhattan pair of routes (), a new M6 & a M19 SBS. The M6 & M19 use Gorgor's southern B'way route solution. (The red route.)

FamousNYLover Posted January 25, 2012 Share #429 Posted January 25, 2012 My Idea for M9: Via Park Row to Broadway, Whitehall St, State St, Battery Pl, West St, Battery Pl, West Thames St, South End Av, Liberty St, Albany St, South End Av, West St, Battery Pl, State St, South Ferry Loop, State St, Battery Pl, Greenwich St, Trinity Place, Church St, Vesey St, Park Row. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mysterious2train Posted January 25, 2012 Share #431 Posted January 25, 2012 Gorgor and I use a program called Inkscape, but I believe he uses Adobe Illustrator. Generally we use blank versions of the bus maps to draw our routes; we have blanked busmaps for all 5 boroughs, but not Nassau or anywhere else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorgor Posted January 28, 2012 Share #432 Posted January 28, 2012 (edited) Gorgor and I use a program called Inkscape, but I believe he uses Adobe Illustrator. Generally we use blank versions of the bus maps to draw our routes; we have blanked busmaps for all 5 boroughs, but not Nassau or anywhere else. I use Inkscape also, but I just convert them to .pdf and upload them to my website. And here's a new route that I created. The M83 - Upper West Side to the Javits Center during events only. Not only does it provide easy, fast access from the Upper West Side, but Upper East Siders can connect using crosstown buses. http://scaped.net/mta/m83.pdf ------- And if anyone has any Manhattan fantasy bus routes, feel free to post the exact turn by turn directions and I'll create a map for it!

transitanylizer Posted January 29, 2012 Share #433 Posted January 29, 2012 QBX55PREFERREDFordham Plaza to Laguardia AirportHere is one route that I think would set new standards in future planning. You heard of select bus services same Idea but this route/Service will be supierior to SBS so Let's name this one the "QBX55PREFERRED" in honor of the once great BX55! It will start out In The Bronx at FORDHAM PLAZA and take 3rd av all the way down and over the 3rd av Br. Into Manhattan, making a left on Lexington another left on 125th and over the Triboro Br. Into Queens, making 2 quick stops in Astoria, one under the N train and the next on stienway before taking the grand central parkway express to all terminals at LAGUARDIA AIRPORT. The busses would use priority right of way traffic signal technology along 3rd av and fewer stops along the way as well as prepaid fare collection at all "stations". This will effectively provide The Bronx with a direct connection to Queens and LGA while simultaneously enhancing service for Bronx riders within the 3rd av corridor, as well as providing a speedier alternative for riders along the M60 corridor and improving connections throughout the whoLe region in general The stops are as follows: (Connctions are in parenthasis) 1.

Threxx Posted January 31, 2012 Share #438 Posted January 31, 2012 Nowhere near complete, but here's the first part of the Brooklyn Collaboration Map! Here are the routes: B50 and B53 - Created by ThrexxBus B22 and B28 - Created by Me (The B22 is loosely based off Brooklyn Bus' B19 idea) I guess and Threxx Bus and I could have collaborated better, our routes have could be considered redundant in a few places! I will add in Coneyislandav7's routes and anybody else's fantasy routes. But I have finals soon, so yeah.

Gorgor Posted February 4, 2012 Share #442 Posted February 4, 2012 Here are the maps that have been requested! ThrexxBus - M6/M19 Q23 Central Term - Q60/Q101 extension Q23 Central Term, I cannot do the "M86 extension" because the directions you gave include going the wrong way on one way streets and leaving out a turn around spot at one end. Also, the extension makes absolutely no sense because it's making the M86 double back on itself and is basically a combination of the M86 and a shortened M31.

Last year using the DOT's map of the full 5 boroughs I was able to map every single NYC express bus in the outerboroughs. I abandoned the project when I reached Manhattan because it was getting too complicated, but I'll definitely resume it! And what exactly do you mean by Bee-Line and Long Island Transit Express Buses? Could you provide me with the links to those services, I'm not familiar with them but I'd love to have them on the map!
