Brooklyn History Quiz 1:

#3: The route ended on the border of two neighborhoods, and both are listed, making the options unfair.

#9: I dispute the notion that this route was the "only" route serving that station. If you look at Street View, there is an entrance to the complex less than a block away from the current nearest bus stop.

3) I went based on what all the signage at the time noted. Granted, I see the issue that arises here. I've modified it so that either answer is acceptable.

9) All I'm gonna say, to not give too much more away, is that what you're inquiring about and what I listed as a selection are not synonymous.
