BM5 via Woodhaven Posted July 27, 2016 Share #76 Posted July 27, 2016 I agree. These riders are comic relief. Their blunders give me prose and make the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Valley fun to write.

Maybe I board a bus with a disproportionate number of dense people. But my comment's intent was genuine. I understood exactly what he said.

Around the Horn Posted July 27, 2016 Share #78 Posted July 27, 2016 I'll say it a different way: I have taken the B41 hundreds of times and never, not once has a passenger complain after the split at Avenue N that they got on the wrong B41. I don't know where you're getting this from, but it doesn't remind me of a ride on the B41, that's for sure.

Sent from my iPod touch using NYC Transit Forums mobile app You're probably on to something. I do understand, I agree. A single insinuation doesn't always apply to the same population.

B35 via Church Posted July 28, 2016 Share #80 Posted July 28, 2016 ....Maybe I get stuck with the tourists a lot. Heavy accents & light heads abound. There are just about as much tourists on the B41 as there is ridership on the B40! You aren't getting tourists riding the B41 that deep into Brooklyn - to even have the problem of taking a Kings Plaza bound bus vs a Bergen Beach bound bus anyway..... See here man... You told me in another thread to give (what I'm describing here) my justified, relentless badgering of your embellishment in that thread, "a rest".... Well I'd like to revisit that same snarkiness & hurl it right back at ya.... "" I'd suggest giving this bit about riders' confusion between the two branches on the B41, a rest..... This is embarrassing that you're bringing up tourists to try to justify something that isn't going on, on the route..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Future ENY OP Posted July 28, 2016 Share #81 Posted July 28, 2016 Let's leave the B41 branches alone and when it's scheduled for SBS service than we can re-visit this. To often we all go off-topic a little to make a point. However, what does the B41 have to do with the B82. Just my 2 cents. Carry on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a Canarsien I doubt that will happen it's not wide enough form E 98th to E 103rd. The fastest way right to get into Rockaway is using the westbound lanes. Strip the parking and turn it to a full bus lane which is good for both the B6 and B82. I agree with you fellow Canarsien in regards to the area between East 98th and East 103rd. However, the inner workings of the DOT are completely the shits right now. Let's see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aemoreira81 Posted January 30, 2018 Share #90 Posted January 30, 2018 Returning the topic to the B82 SBS...based on the reconfiguration plan on Pennsylvania Avenue (my neck of the woods), I'm not sure that it may be a good idea to maintain a 24-hour bus lane through Spring Creek Towers. Rather, it would make sense to do it 7 AM to 7 PM, except Sunday, with traffic being reduced to a single lane to prevent speeding during that time (Flatlands Avenue between 103 and Penn will also be reduced to a single lane during this time). Also, the B82 SBS is likely now pushed back to the start of the summer pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, the B82 SBS is likely now pushed back to the start of the summer pick. I don’t think the lanes are going to be 24 hour. It’s not like cross blvd. The 82 really needs it for the weekday. On the weekends the 82 is carrying just a handle full of people during the middle of its route. Not sure about the east or west end but I know it’s not really crowded during the weekend. Also it’s been pushed back to this year from last to my knowledge but since they are currently setting up the bases for the fare machines I could see them implementing it during the beginning of the summer. Just like what they did with the b46 sbs. The newer street designs could be done by spring to allow artics on the limited route before the sbs impletation so customers won’t have to deal with over crowding.

That way you could loop straight into Rockaway With out hitting the intersection of Glenwood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, the plans show the actual stop at the train station could be discontinued during early 2019 into 2020 for the reconstruction of the between Canarsie and Williamsburg. Do remember Conklin Avenue is very tight and we are talking about artics. I kinda hate what the DOT did by configuring Conklin Avenue in the reverse direction between Rockaway to Remsen. Sometimes, it does beat the Flatlands Avenue traffic. However, there's no left turn once you reach Remsen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you make Conklin bus only from E 96 Street to E 98 Street you take the buses of Rockaway Parkway. They can go right into the Loop from E 98th, the B42 can also use leaving only the B60 Northbound.
