Around the Horn Posted June 29, 2016 Share #18026 Posted June 29, 2016 The B1 also dropped "via 86 St" and the Bay Ridge bound B64 now says "VIA 13 AV, VIA BAY RIDGE" on the side sign instead of "VIA BAY RDG AV", in the latest sign update. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pranavbhat924 Posted June 29, 2016 Share #18027 Posted June 29, 2016 The Q56 used to have a VIA JAMAICA AVE on all of its buses, but now only some say that. Sent from my iPhone using NYC Transit Forums mobile app 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
checkmatechamp13 Posted June 29, 2016 Share #18028 Posted June 29, 2016 About damn time! I mean, CSI is much larger than either Wagner or St. Johns and has a lot more people taking the bus to reach it, so it's really not a big deal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XcelsiorBoii4888 Posted June 30, 2016 Share #18029 Posted June 30, 2016 Out of the new Select Bus routes, which one has seen the biggest jump in ridership? B44, Q44, M86 or M60? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
checkmatechamp13 Posted June 30, 2016 Share #18030 Posted June 30, 2016 The X10 now shows whether or not it's running via Narrows Road North (which was an issue I brought up to them, about the SI routing being more important than the Manhattan routing heading outbound). I didn't catch what the full sign said, but it's a start. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Via Garibaldi 8 Posted June 30, 2016 Share #18031 Posted June 30, 2016 Out of the new Select Bus routes, which one has seen the biggest jump in ridership? B44, Q44, M86 or M60? I don't think anyone can say since I don't believe there are figures out yet for all of those routes.

RailRunRob Posted June 30, 2016 Share #18032 Posted June 30, 2016 Out of the new Select Bus routes, which one has seen the biggest jump in ridership? B44, Q44, M86 or M60? Id put my money on the M60 just on the illusion of a quicker ride to the Airport.. And to be fair it's not bad.. east of 2nd ave. I don't think anyone can say since I don't believe there are figures out yet for all of those routes. Perhaps sometime next year...

Future ENY OP Posted June 30, 2016 Share #18033 Posted June 30, 2016 Out of the new Select Bus routes, which one has seen the biggest jump in ridership? B44, Q44, M86 or M60? I would say the M60. 125th street traffic is not like hell B44 sucks like hell. Nostrand Avenue traffic is HELL. Just hope the B46SBS+ turns out good with the 48 buses that are plasured for SBS+ service. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JubaionBx12+SBS Posted July 1, 2016 Share #18034 Posted July 1, 2016 Speaking of high ridership routes, the Bx12's annual summer schedule is online. I'm incredibly pleased with the weekend service levels being provided. For the vast majority of the day on Saturday and a decent chunk of Sunday Bx12 local and SBS service will combine to exceed 20 BPH with some hours seeing close to 30 BPH. I'm not impressed with the severe weekday peak reductions though. 17 BPH during the AM Rush gets cut down to 12 Westbound and 11 Eastbound on the SBS and the local will run on a flat 10 minute headway for the entire duration of weekday Orchard Beach service which includes rush hours. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IAlam Posted July 1, 2016 Share #18035 Posted July 1, 2016 Out of the new Select Bus routes, which one has seen the biggest jump in ridership? B44, Q44, M86 or M60? Although we can't tell yet My guess is M60. The B44 might even have lower ridership. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
46Dover Posted July 1, 2016 Share #18036 Posted July 1, 2016 The 47 was 2 separate routes (40 north of ENY Av, 78 south of Sutter-Rutland). They new combo is too long, with absmyal headways (I think at its peak it's 8-10 mins). And you have to change at B'way for the WBP 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LegoBrickBreaker101 Posted July 2, 2016 Share #18043 Posted July 2, 2016 There's a huge gap in B46 service down Utica Avenue... two LTDs are bunched together, and the next LCL bus after that is 3.1 miles away, with the next LTD 4.2 miles away. Within that 3.1 mile distance, 8 or so B46's (LCL and LTD) are fairly bunched together heading to Kings Plaza. I don't know, seeing as how the B46 is a highly used route, it kinda surprises me... but it is the MTA, after all. Hopefully SBS helps the line when it starts tomorrow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is another systemwide issue that needs to be looked at. I've been vocal about wide gaps in Bx12 SBS service that can at times be nearly 30 minutes wide and given what I observe on BusTime other high frequency routes are having such problems as well. You get these seriously wide gaps and then a whole swarm of buses come in close together to close the gap. There's no way you're maximizing ridership on the high ridership routes with buses running like that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of service fluxuations, there's a ton of Bx12 LCLs in service (way more than there are SBS' on the line. Not sure if it's due to the fact that it's running the full route today (Inwood to Orchard Beach), or if its all the KB loaners on the route, but there are a lot of buses on the route for Sunday service. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SBS is currently running on 4-5 minute headways as I post so it should be about even between them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually the Orchard Beach buses are run by KB. Idk how they're doing it this year with the Bx5 not going there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
