Some bus routes are necessary, others are despised, some not necessary. Give me the bus route you want to eliminate and why? My bus route is the Bx18 for shortness. Extend it or merge it.

If simply not being long enough (or a route you despise for X reason) is your metric for eliminating bus routes, then it's a good thing you are not a route planner. Completely out of touch with not only ridership patterns, demographics, and geography. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jdog14 Posted February 16, 2020 Share #4 Posted February 16, 2020 The B84 and M12 come to mind as routes that should probably be axed. From what I seen, most of the M12 ridership is along 57 street for when the M31 or M57 dont show up in a certain time (606 w57 residents and the like in that pocket of manhattan coming from/going to columbus circle). The B84 is basically an express B83 to New Lots from/to Gateway center. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FamousNYLover Posted February 16, 2020 Share #10 Posted February 16, 2020 I don't think farebox can't switch from express bus to local fare. M10/M20: Combine to M20, operates between Frederick Douglass Blvd/158th St and South Ferry. M35/M100: Comebine to M100. Via 125th St, turn right at Lex Av, turn left at 124th St, follows M35 loop back to Triboro, exit onto 125th St, regular route. Q50/Q48: Via 39th Av, turn left at Prince St, turn right at Roosevelt Av, follow Q48 routing via LGA back to Roosevelt Av, turn left at Main St, regular route. B32/Q100: Combine as Q100. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Via 125th St, turn right at Lex Av, turn left at 124th St, follows M35 loop back to Triboro, exit onto 125th St, regular route. No I don't want a route between Randall's island and Inwood Q50/Q48: Via 39th Av, turn left at Prince St, turn right at Roosevelt Av, follow Q48 routing via LGA back to Roosevelt Av, turn left at Main St, regular route. B32/Q100: Combine as Q100. Not really gonna reply to the last two as the MTA trying to make/be similar to those two routes as the QT50 and QT1 respectively. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the route carries air but, I don't think it should be cut entirely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North part (stays Bx19): from Botanic Garden via Southern Blvd, Longwood, into Hunts Point. South part (new Bx49): 149th Street Crosstown between Riverbank Park and Southern/Westchester. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jova42R Posted February 16, 2020 Share #15 Posted February 16, 2020 should be cut, and the should run via the H Hudson Pky to Downtown. should be merged with the B32/Q100 (QT1) route, having a Rikers Island to LES route, dubbed the BQT30. Some rush hour trips should operate express north of 181, dubbed the Bx7X. SB Bx7X: via Riverdale Av, right on 235 St, left on Netherland, right on 232, left on HHP service Rd, enter HHP, exit 14, left on Riverside, right on 181, right on Broadway, follow route NB Bx7X: via Broadway, left on 181, right on H Hudson Pkwy, exit 18, via Irwin Av, straight to Riverdale Av, follow route. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, the Q50/Bx23 split reflects this, as the latter has a considerably more robust schedule and higher ridership in spite of the far lower overall coverage. The only thing I don't particularly enjoy about the actual Q50 proposals regarding Co-op City is that no one thought to at least try a shorter, straighter route that could make it more attractive to anyone living by the development's eastern flank. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay so instead we should just extend Bx23 across Co-Op City and turn it back around. A loop per sé 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
