For as long as I’ve lived in Canarsie-East Flatbush the 47 never short turns anywhere. Still, the route needs to be split. The southern part of the route covered by Flatbush and northern part by Grand. never seen a flatlands avenue short sign either, but I personally know GA b/o's that have been cut short in that general area by console, instructions being to make either Farragut road (glenwood houses) or glenwood road their last stop. if the last stop is Farragut, the turnaround is left east 76 (milky way corner-store) right glenwood, right Ralph and regular. i can't remember the turnaround for the glenwood cut, and i can only assume what the flatlands turnaround would be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is accurate. I’ve seen it happen recently. Put to you this way. Seen it as of Monday Morning AM rush and mid-days and that’s a new sign. I believe the Glenwood/Flatlands cut is either Left on East 73rd, Right on K, Right on Ralph than regular OR right on Padegrat Avenue So., right on East 59th, right on H, left on Ralph than regular. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the former SBS buses are still in the old paint scheme and the blue stripe towards the back is a bit werid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct. I think 56 would be the preferred option than 58. 58th can get tight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My problem is, that sometimes I take it from the C train station on Fulton St. Getting form there up until the 3 train station/passing thru it really feels like riding the B41(being restored). With heaviest bunch and the crowding on the interior of the bus scares me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here’s the problem at the present time. FB can’t absorb the 47 right now. Unless a major shake up in the Brooklyn Division don’t expect FB to get this route. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
