If nobody gets it, I':)ll chime in........

[LRG]

I'll give this a try.

 

In the 1970s, there was a route that was proposed but it never came to light except in June of 2010 ONLY due to budget cuts. Here's a hint: the route is in Brooklyn. Name the route that was proposed in the 70s as well as the route that takes the path of this proposed 1970s route.

@ IRT Bronx Express, Was it the BX3 Prospect Avenue?

I'm not familiar with anything related to the pre-1984 route revamp. B)

[LRG]

@ LRG, Was it the B86 (B1)?

 

You are correct! :tup:

being a brooklynite, this was too easy...

since the question was already answered, I'll await the next one...

 

 

I'll admit I slept on this thread.

[EE Broadway Local]

B35 via Church, Maybe you know the answer to IRT Bronx Express' trivia question above LRG's? I thought maybe it was the old BX3 Prospect Avenue which terminated at Pelham Parkway.

[IRT Bronx Express]

Anyone is more than welcome to help out with 70(EE)'s answer. This is my fault for not being specific, but I corrected it.

This currently-existing Bronx bus used to terminate at Pelham Parkway.

I'll take a shot in the dark and say Bx39

[IRT Bronx Express]

Good guess, but nope.

[Q43LTD]

How about the Bx31?

[IRT Bronx Express]

Nope. 1st hint: This bus didn't short turn at Pelham Parkway, rather it was its northern terminal.

[Mysterious2train]

The Bx22 [it used to be called the Bx13, right?]

[IRT Bronx Express]

 

The Bx22 [it used to be called the Bx13, right?]

The current Bx22 is the old Bx13. Good guess though, but the Bx22 still terminates at Pelham Parkway during the nighttime only.

[Q43LTD]

I got it. The old Bx7 (which was the western half of the Bx16)

[IRT Bronx Express]

The fact that the old Bx7 used to terminate at Pelham Parkway never crossed my mind. That service pattern was pre-1984 (which I never asked ), but why not? You're correct, but there's another one.

The only other route I can think of is the old Bx13 (present day Bx22), but that is an overnight terminal :confused:

[IRT Bronx Express]

Yep, I mentioned that too.

 

Here's my other hint: this current bus used to travel along with the Bx12.
