Some Bx21, B11 and B67 highlights & more (Dealing With The Tube Closures, Part One)


Recommended Posts

Welcome to the first part of "Dealing with the Tube Closures", or "DWTTC" for short. The title well, is suppose to reflect how the QMT tube (Manhattan-bound) is closed only on Saturdays, thus leaving everyone to only go into one lane in each direction, causing a massive backup in each direction. I haven't used the express bus as a result for a hot minute, because I'm not dealing with that BS (this happened unexpectedly towards June last year, and I was insane). So, I'm doing some mini-fanning on some of the local buses throughout the city (mainly the Bronx and Brooklyn routes with CNG's) in the meantime, until they finish the tube work. So unless I start using the express bus for casual trips on Fridays into the city or something, I probably won't be using the express bus for the next three months (which is the slated span of work). Anyways, let's get this started:

Last Week, I decided to take the Bx21 on the full route, from Mott Haven to Westchester Square.

Today, I went to Sunset Park to take the B11 to Midwood. I walk from the (R) to 58 Street and 1 Avenue (I realized I could have gotten off at 59 Street instead of 53 Street, silly me).

 

I didn't get many shots, but since I didn't get a picture of the bus I was taking, here's one of the bus beforehand (just 2 numbers off anyways).
