B35 via Church Posted October 21, 2019 Share #26 Posted October 21, 2019 (edited) First we get one guy on here claiming it's the fault of the bus driver that there's too much runtime scheduled for a route.... Now we get another guy on here conflating shit - drawing some stupid parallel between two completely different professions.... Can't make this shit up.

Also got a nod from someone at the MTA. I wonder if this has anything to do with the internal stuff with Byford thinking it might. Havnt heard anything since last week. Just a clear reminder.

B35 via Church Posted October 21, 2019 Share #30 Posted October 21, 2019 (edited) The Rhodes scholars that have suggested & authorized these impending award winning route alterations for the borough are not the same people plotting them on a map.... The point regarding map design here, doesn't amount to a hill of beans.... Try telling those who stand to be affected by these route changes that'll end up happening, about some outsourcing of some map design.....

My guy, I'm gonna need you to get your facts straight....and don't post until you do. Lately, you've been rambling on about nonsense.

RailRunRob Posted October 22, 2019 Share #36 Posted October 22, 2019 I was told by someone that also is working a redesign there was was totally independent teams working the different redesigns.With the Bronx working and testing the Remix software. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you went to any of the open houses, you would’ve met some of them. Staten Island was a mess where they literally changed as much as they could. I think they learned from that to tweak some things, but not go crazy, moving stops all around with no rhyme or reason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had to guess, I’m pretty sure it has something to do with killing like 10+ routes & thus turning the good lot of the southeastern reaches of former NICE bus network/coverage into a bus transit desert. Like, why? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lex Posted October 22, 2019 Share #40 Posted October 22, 2019 It's now out. They decided to retain peak Q50 service in Co-Op City (on the same damn route, no less). They also decided to leave the Bx38 intact and revive the Bx25 designation (in an effective reversal of the pre-2010 patterns between the latter and the Bx26). The Bx30 was shifted down Boston Road to end at Pelham Parkway because yes. F for the express bus service... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RailRunRob Posted October 22, 2019 Share #41 Posted October 22, 2019 25 via Allerton is back and covering sections 1-4 and Bay Plaza. 42 full route is back At first glance it seems pretty balanced. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im looking at lines like BXM1 and 7 that are used quite alot and there cut. I would expect them to add service especially to a route like the BXM7. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They changed some of the most egregious parts of proposal, especially the BxM4 part which we threatened a lawsuit on.

They also listened to our request to keep BxM11 service North of 233rd Street, You see the new proposal extends the BxM5 up into Mount Vernon... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Bugatti - they are eliminating southbound BxM1 and 2 service after 4 pm weekdays. So now, strictly a commuter service. Want to go out at night, Riverdale?

paulrivera Posted October 22, 2019 Share #49 Posted October 22, 2019 (edited) My thoughts: -The old BxM4B is now the old BxM4A. Rush hour only but better than nothing at all, I guess. -The Bx25 is back! The headways between the two might be a bit concerning tho, especially if the buses don't stay on schedule (highly likely) -The BxM2 cuts in the midday (and also the others to a lesser extent) is literally like prodding a sleeping bear. Oh boy... -I like that they reversed course on the Co-op City changes. The Bx29 is still gone from Co-op but the Bx23 got bumped up frequency wise to cover for that at least. -We were warned a year ago that they were gonna trim some fat on the Bus express network, and here we are. edit: Yo. Why the hell are the express buses peak direction only now?!?! Sneaky, sneaky, sneaky! The only route they kept as a two-way route was the BxM10!

I haven't even finished going through everything, but I am looking at the spans now. My consensus is that some of this might be replaced with funding from the Outer Borough Transit Fund, but we can't wait for that, as that won't be available until after congestion pricing is sorted out. This is exactly why the new express bus order took so long because they wanted to sort out how much service they planned on cutting. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
