BM5 via Woodhaven

Recommended Posts

The B46-SBS before used to be every 2-4 minutes during the rush, 5-6 minutes off peak. With artics out and about, weekday rush is every 5 minutes. 7-8 minutes during off peak and Saturdays. On Sundays every 10 minutes. 12 minutes early/late weekend hours.

B46SBS weekdays (school open & closed paddles) = 61 runs prior to artic conversion. after (as of today, 01/19/2020) = 48 runs.

46SBS Saturday = 42 runs prior. as of today = 31 runs

46 SBS Sunday = 26 runs prior. as of today = 23 runs.

the point I'm making by posting this is that as unfortunately, headway alterations were inevitable. please note: the 46 local's 52 runs remain intact from last pick. be forewarned.

Shouldn’t this make the local much more run more closely with the sbs? I hear a lot of complaints that the local 46 was just hit badly when the 46 became sbs. I think in a way it just balances things out more so people don’t have to resort to taking the sbs when they really need the local.

It was worse when the initial conversion happened. Every local was going to the bridge and would come back delayed. They have added short turns to Dekalb and other places along the route so its not too bad but buses still go missing.

I see that too. Even yesterday I saw like 4 46 local bunched and some rarely going back the other direction.
