I mean, if the Bee Line routes (BL-4/20/21) didn't terminate on the same side of the BPB entrance, I would end the modified Bx28 there...... On a side note, To (try to) eliminate the amount of walking over there by Lehman to GC, that's one reason I would truncate the Bx2 to the college...

B35 via Church Posted December 6, 2014 Share #1760 Posted December 6, 2014 interesting idea OK never really thought about bx2 like that...... Let me do it this way... The way the 2 pairs of routes are used: - The Bx40 & the Bx42 complement each other down in Throgs Neck (separate unique portion of the two routes)... - The Bx1 & the Bx2 does not complement each other south of 149th st.... For starters, when you see mad people deciding to walk b/w GC/149th & the Hub, something is wrong.... I'd argue that the MTA tried to (and did) make the Bx2 a supplementary route when they revoked the Melrose routing away from it.... I'm just glad they didn't try to rid itself of the Bx2 (which to be honest, I thought they were originally trying to)..... Furthermore, anything running in Kingsbridge Hgts. that doesn't serve the , is rather useless IMO.... And there's no point in extending Bx2's to Riverdale av, so they may as well truncate the route somewhere (someone back on RD said the Bx2 should end at Fordham plaza, but I think that's too abrupt... and besides, that area is congested anyway.... someone else (also on RD) had an idea involving diverting & actually extending it to Woodlawn, but that is simply not necessary for network coverage)... Anyway, a truncation would actually save them money, while still keeping the same service levels for the bulk of the GC folks.... Which is what I would suggest w/ that Bx2 idea I had there.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qjtransitmaster Posted December 6, 2014 Share #1761 Posted December 6, 2014 How reliable is the bx33 in Manhattan? Bx1 on the concourse? I wonder what can hold it up with bx2 & trains helping the concourse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysteriousBtrain Posted December 6, 2014 Share #1762 Posted December 6, 2014 How reliable is the bx33 in Manhattan? Bx1 on the concourse? I wonder what can hold it up with bx2 & trains helping the concourse. The Bx33 dosen't appear often. But when it does, it usually gets crowded west of 3 Avenue. The Bx1 is very busy especially with it's limited service. Local riders can use the Bx2. Bx1 locals only run during early mornings, evenings, and all day sundays. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysteriousBtrain Posted December 8, 2014 Share #1763 Posted December 8, 2014 Bx1/2: No evening service on the Bx1 and local service is discontinued, with limited service added on sundays. The Bx2 is extended to Riverdale when the Bx1 dosen't run. Bx4/24: Bx4A variant discontinued. The Bx24 becomes the old Bx14 while the Bx4 extends to the Hutchinson Metro Center. Bx10/28: Weekday Bx10 service is split into two. One section runs between Riverdale and Lehman College and another between Riverdale and Williamsbridge Gun Hill Road station. The Bx10 and Bx28 switch routes between Bainbridge Avenue and Lehman College (at Moshulu Parkway, the Williamsbridge Bx10 service does not serve Lehman College and instead runs on the Bx1 until Van Corlandt Park West) Limited runs on the Bx28 from Bainbridge Avenue to Bartow Avenue. Bx13: Extend to 3 Avenue 138 Street station and discontinue 161 Street service in honor of the Bx46 extension. Bx18: Extend it to run on the old Melrose Bx2 route to 3 Avenue and 150 Street (Bx21 stop on 150 street to 149 street to allow the Bx18 to relay). Bx20/M100: Expand the Bx20 to 7 days a week and take over the new Inwood M100 service. The M100 is back to it's original route and the Bx20 ends at Dyckman street station. Bx40: Limited service between Randall Avenue and University Avenue. Bx46: Extended to Yankee Stadium. turns right on Prospect Avenue and left on 163 Street to follow te Bx6.

Having Bx10's run to Gun Hill would do much of nothing for the route ridership-wise (folks would still flock to the 28 for obvious reasons).....

qjtransitmaster Posted December 10, 2014 Share #1775 Posted December 10, 2014 (edited) If bx33 was routed to 145th and bx1 to 135th (similar to bx15) in Manhattan won't that decrease wait times for riders on both corridors? Plus 5th ave /Madison what will happen if m4 got a service increase and m1 became pure LTD like the m2.
