My route refers to something @BrooklynBus briefly touched on awhile back about a lack of service through central  ENY. The route connects Cypress Hills in the north with Spring Creek to the south. No clue how to makeshift a bus map but Google Maps was a good guide.

B85 Cypress Hills Terminal: Arlington & Jamaica Avenues.

 

To Spring Creek:

East on Jamaica Ave

South on Miller Ave

East on Fulton St: [ (J)(Z) at Van Siclen Ave] 

South on Hendrix St[ ( C ) at Pitkin Ave & Van Siclen]

West on New Lots Ave

South on Van Siclen

East on Cozine Ave

South on Schenck Ave

Right on Gateway Drive

From Seaview Ave, north on Fountain Ave

West on Cozine.

Spring Creek Terminal NW c/o Cozine & Fountain.

 

B85 To Cypress Hills:

West on Cozine

South on Atkins Ave

East on Flatlands Ave

South on Fountain

West on Seaview

From Gateway, left on Vandalia Ave

From Schenck, west on Cozine

North on Van Siclen

East on Hegeman Ave

North on Schenck [(C) at Pitkin Ave & Van Siclen]

West on Atlantic Ave

North on Van Siclen [ ( J ) (Z) at Fulton] 

West on Arlington to terminal

 

The north and south running streets are narrow through the area. Alternate side parking hours might need adjusting. According to Google Maps both Schenck and Hendrix cross Atlantic Ave. Van Sic doesn't. Considered putting the north terminal at Broadway Junction but with the bus traffic already over there it's overkill. Van Sic & Fulton (J)(Z) Xfer is adequate.

 

Finally figured out how to use Google Maps but I damn sure ain't no gnikcuf expert when it comes to using it. I tried to use the Google Drive link but it opened up into a full map of the US. dekcuF with it for hours then put my fist thru the wall! (Yeah sure) So the tihs has be turned into a .png image. If you have time to waste, use the pic, GMaps Brooklyn NY and the streets above to puzzle it out. Feel free to critique. I've got skin like an elephant.  (So sez the lady in my life)

Apologies for the bump. Think I finally got it right. Simply proving to future generations I'm not a total idiot. Promise not to bump again.

Got another one for the ENY Transit desert. B86 using Logan St & Fountain Ave for the north/south run with a road/rail xfer at Norwood Ave by using Liberty Ave as an east/west run and crossing Atlantic on Logan to Sheperd/Berriman which also sets up a road/rail xfer at Sheperd & Pitkin then using New Lots/Dumont for movement btn Shep/Berr and Fountain. Since time would be added the best thing might be to keep the run on Logan/Fountain, cutting out the Shep/Pit rail connection. Maybe cut the eastern portion of the run back to Eldert & Loring. ENY reaching out to Howard Beach...too soon? Too late?

I have an idea for many bus routes. The MTA should bring back the culture loop routes again so that tourist starting at JFK or LGA can explore the city.

There is no reason for MTA to subsidize a money-losing service just to do the same thing that the double-decker tour companies already do.

one idea i have is the B94 from willamsburg plaza to gateway center mall it would follow the B24 up to metropolitan then continue down meeker till kingsland ave then turn right then turn right again at woodpoint roadthen it would continue on to bushwick ave and the follow the old B13 bus route then when it gets to the hospital on weekends it will end there but on weekdays it will go all the way to gateway center mall in ENY

Create a bus route is so EASY! You can reply stops if you want to BUT it will be too much. so reply at least 2 replies only. All you do is just create your bus number and boroughs for ex (Made up or real): B40, M62, Bx66, S23, Q103, X14. After you do that, tell the northern and southern terminal stop and tell where it will be running for ex: via 18th Avenue and via 116th Street. So good luck. It beings... now!

can i make a sub pat called make your own subway route

Either stick with one account or I'm getting rid of all. You have an unusually high number of accounts.

What's is the problem, this is a topic saying create your own business route; so I decided to put my thoughts on here. FYI I only have one account for nyctransitforums. But I leave you guys alone. I apologize for interrupting.

I've checked. You have at least 4-5 other accounts listed under the same IPs you use.....

not sure if anyone had an idea like this before but uhh...

 

B79 (local service)

 

24/7 line...uses artics equipped with bike racks

 

could be based out of either Gleason or Ulmer (or both)

 

color on maps: either dark or light blue

 

has some short turns that only go as far south as 9th Avenue (D) <D> and run to/from Gleason

 

it's also supposed to go west on 14th between Irving and Broadway but the driving directions feature in Google Maps screwed that up

 

B79.png

 

I had this idea for a long time

 

original version (with all the stops included and a few other stuff)

I have an idea for Ocean Parkway: https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/edit?mid=14kXvHaK5WqN0yCQPIiNCAIlxeM8w0L0&usp=sharing. A +SelectBusService+ route between Downtown Brooklyn (last stop Smith/Livingston Street near Jay Street-MetroTech (A)(C)(F)(R), first stop Boreum Place/Joralemon Street near Borough Hall-Court Street (2)(3)(4)(5)(R)) and Coney Island. Would be an alternative to current Subway Service, and relieve crowding on the Subways and the B68 bus, especially during the summer months.

And a Local Route between Prospect-Lefferts Gardens and Coney Island as well.

No buses on Ocean Pkwy. Besides-lanes are too narrow.
