East New York Posted November 7, 2010 Share #1 Posted November 7, 2010 To provide faster and more direct service to the Jay St/ Borough Hall station, the B54 is returning to its formerroute along the MetroTech Roadway. To Downtown Brooklyn The B54 travels along Myrtle Av until Duffield St, then via Duffield St, the MetroTech Roadway and Jay St to the last stop at the Jay St/Borough Hall Station. New Bus Stop On the MetroTech Roadway at Lawrence St On Jay St at Willoughby St Eliminated Bus Stops On Jay St at Tillary St On Jay St at Myrtle Av Map of the rerouted Downtown Brooklyn-bound B54 bus -Customers should use the new bus stop on the MetroTech Roadway. -The Ridgewood Terminal-bound route is unchanged. http://www.mta.info/nyct/service/service_changes_b54.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric B Posted November 7, 2010 Share #2 Posted November 7, 2010 That's the new street that goes through the building, right? I don't remember the bus ever going through there, and wasn't sure if they would fit, though if they did, I wished they would try it. It was ridiculous how far the route had to be diverted to get to Jay St. On the way out, is it still going the long way? That's what it looks like on that map.

B35 via Church Posted November 7, 2010 Share #3 Posted November 7, 2010 That's the new street that goes through the building, right?

It was ridiculous how far the route had to be diverted to get to Jay St. On the way out, is it still going the long way? That's what it looks like on that map. Most likely... b/c although that roadway is a two way street, duffield is 1-way SB north of willoughby... and I highly doubt they're gonna have buses turning up any of those other side streets while traveling along fulton.... well that, and if there were any changes to the Ridgewood terminal bound B54, it would've been illustrated on that little map there as well... Stay tuned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East New York Posted November 7, 2010 Author Share #4 Posted November 7, 2010 Yes, the reroute will take the bus right through the plaza to Jay street. The Ridgewood bound portion of the route is unchanged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially during rush hours. Sometimes I used to get off at Flatbush and walk through the plaza. The B54 was my home route once upon a time.
