checkmatechamp13 Posted February 9, 2013 Share #1756 Posted February 9, 2013 For those who want the IRT, there's the B17 to Crown Heights, and the B6/B103 to Flatbush Avenue (depending on where in Canarsie you are). I think the B42 should remain as a simple shuttle serving the . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the B42 should remain as a simple shuttle serving the . i figured i'd create the maps and take a crash course in creating one. and besides the route just seems so short so i figured i'd create one.. (if the mta looks at my links and creates the route i expect to take full credit and to be hired as a route planner lol jk ) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BreeddekalbL Posted February 13, 2013 Share #1762 Posted February 13, 2013 (edited) reinstate the B51 my way! it will be a rush hour route and will be also activated when the manhattan bridge is closed for subway service. just for RTS cng command northbound https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?hl=en&gl=us&ie=UTF8&oe=UTF8&msa=0&msid=218345366120084192601.0004d5925b3a956a4ec56 southbound https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?hl=en&gl=us&ie=UTF8&oe=UTF8&msa=0&msid=218345366120084192601.0004d593409405a777553 Edited February 13, 2013 by BreeddekalbL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was on B51 years ago at PM rush after canal street it was carrying well air. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Culver Posted February 13, 2013 Share #1764 Posted February 13, 2013 I remember now why that route got canned: because the subway is much faster. I doubt the MTA will bring it back. Speaking of which, anybody know how the B39 is doing? Of all the redundant routes to resurrect. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of which, anybody know how the B39 is doing? Of all the redundant routes to resurrect. probably just carrying air LOL but I think it's ridership improved marginally. The only way to successfully bring back B51 is as a lower manhattan crosstown canal comes to mind otherwise don't even bother. Heck not even taking seriously any proposal to bring it back. Heck I'd go as far and say letting it stay on flatbush all the way to atlantic terminal would actually benefit B51 if a miracle brings it back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling that the reason that the B51 will never come back is because one can use the train from Atlantic Avenue/Barclays Center to Brooklyn Bridge/City Hall. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traffic on Canal can be insane, though. The risk is it becoming like the M60 in that respect. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is nothing that says "success" about a canal st crosstown route... Nothing. AEMoreira81 said: I have a feeling that the reason that the B51 will never come back is because one can use the train from Atlantic Avenue/Barclays Center to Brooklyn Bridge/City Hall. I really don't think it had anything to do with ADA issues or w/e (talkin about taking the subway)..... I think the only reason they resurrected the B39 over the B51 boiled down to one thing....

Around the Horn Posted February 13, 2013 Share #1774 Posted February 13, 2013 @threxx your ideas are very good, i just have a few suggestions: the b5 can fill the service gap on 65st east of 13th avenue the b1 extention should loop like the b16 and b63 school trippers: from 86th St R-shore rd to 83th R-on 83rd(possible stop at narrows)R-on colonial(stop at 83rd&colonial)L-on 86th(resume route) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the B1 reroute, I've changed the routing as such. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
