Feb 2nd 2009- BM1 Travel Path Change in Brooklyn

[FamousNYLover]

EFFECTIVE MONDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 2009

 

In an effort to provide faster and more direct service, the BM1 travel path through Mill Basin and Bergen Beach, Brooklyn will be revised. This revision will streamline the current circuitous travel path through this area by providing more direct service.

 

Westbound BM1 trips to Manhattan will operate from northbound East 66th Street via Avenue U, Veterans Avenue, Avenue N, and Ralph Avenue, resuming the regular route.

 

Eastbound BM1 trips to Mill Basin will operate from southbound Ralph Avenue via Avenue N, Veterans Avenue, East 71st Street, Avenue U, and East 66th Street, resuming the regular route.

 

The BM1 bus stops on Mill Avenue at Avenue T will be discontinued in both directions. Customers may use bus stops on Ralph Avenue at Avenue N instead, or transfer to/from the B47, which will continue to serve these bus stops (transfer at no additional charge with a MetroCard). A BM1 bus stop will be added on Veterans Avenue at East 66th Street in both directions.

I'm glad, because the path currently is redundant. This way, BOTH Av U and Veterans Av get the service instead of Av U getting double.
