LandoftheLost Posted March 31, 2010 Share #1 Posted March 31, 2010 When B44 route become Select Bus Service late 2011. B44 route should be transfer to Grand Ave Depot. If B44 route will be an articulated bus line. Grand Ave depot will able to handle articulated bus. Flatbush Depot and Ulmer Park depot I believe is a depot that cannot able handle articulated bus.

MattTrain Posted March 31, 2010 Share #3 Posted March 31, 2010 I would like to believe you, however the B44 is good at Flatbush Depot. I don't see the B44 going to Grand Avenue Depot anytime soon, man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllenJ24 Posted March 31, 2010 Share #4 Posted March 31, 2010 I like the grand ave. depot, but the flatbush depot should handle artics and the B44 should stay at flatbush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B35 via Church Posted April 1, 2010 Share #5 Posted April 1, 2010 highly doubt grand ave can handle all its current routes + the B44 (artic or not)... may as well have it kept @ flatbush... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nova RTS 9147 Posted April 1, 2010 Share #7 Posted April 1, 2010 The thread title is misleading, and it will be a snowy day in hell before the B44, a bus route that's close to Flatbush depot will be transferred to Grand Avenue, a depot that's not even in the same borough, let alone close to where the B44 runs.

BusOperator3319 Posted April 1, 2010 Share #11 Posted April 1, 2010 What NYCT should do is make each Depot a Split route depot if Grand Avenue was to get the B44 they would start and end at Bridge Plaza and Buses from Flatbush would start and end at Kings Plaza the B60 should have been split Between East New York and Grand Avenue to avoid that long deadhead back to grand same situation Buses from Grand Avenue start and end at Bridge Plaza Buses from East New York start and end at Canarsie Williams Avenue it makes alot of sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted April 1, 2010 Share #12 Posted April 1, 2010 That's a pretty good idea. But are you saying a bus [RTS for example] belonging to two depots [getting two depot stickers] or merely splitting the route so that it is served by two depots?

Kanarsie Guy Posted April 1, 2010 Share #14 Posted April 1, 2010 I think splitting the B44 ain't a bad idea it would add space at flatbush. Then u might be able to put the B100 in FLA or Split the B3 u would have options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise they could choose either the B2 or the B100 to cut and to keep the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aemoreira81 Posted April 4, 2010 Share #19 Posted April 4, 2010 The thread title is misleading, and it will be a snowy day in hell before the B44, a bus route that's close to Flatbush depot will be transferred to Grand Avenue, a depot that's not even in the same borough, let alone close to where the B44 runs. It is in the same division, however (Brooklyn Division). The real reason though against a transfer is that Grand Avenue is not that big a garage (it can only handle about 180 buses and currently has about 160 assigned). I get the thinking though---reduction in deadheads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacsnyy Posted April 8, 2010 Share #21 Posted April 8, 2010 I personally think the B44 deadheads to Flatbush aren't THAT bad. To free space at Flatbush, maybe split the B49 with Ulmer Park? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't sound too good. Honestly, I think that the only way out is to transfer the B100, BM3, and BM4 to Flatbush. An annex can be built where the parking lot/gas station is now (wait for the street view to show): [GMAPS]<iframe width="425" height="350" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=embed&hl=en&geocode=&q=4901+Fillmore+Avenue,+Brooklyn,+NY+11234++&sll=40.615972,-73.928633&sspn=0.038049,0.055189&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=4901+Fillmore+Ave,+Brooklyn,+Kings,+New+York+11234&ll=40.623855,-73.923225&spn=0.009513,0.013797&z=14&layer=c&cbll=40.614395,-73.927656&panoid=xcIVWp0FzEi-MjAxsvbOrg&cbp=12,81.71,,0,2.76&output=svembed"></iframe><br /><small><a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=embed&hl=en&geocode=&q=4901+Fillmore+Avenue,+Brooklyn,+NY+11234++&sll=40.615972,-73.928633&sspn=0.038049,0.055189&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=4901+Fillmore+Ave,+Brooklyn,+Kings,+New+York+11234&ll=40.623855,-73.923225&spn=0.009513,0.013797&z=14&layer=c&cbll=40.614395,-73.927656&panoid=xcIVWp0FzEi-MjAxsvbOrg&cbp=12,81.71,,0,2.76" style="color:#0000FF;text-align:left">View Larger Map</a></small>[/GMAPS] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NovaBus 5121 Posted April 10, 2010 Share #24 Posted April 10, 2010 If something isn't broke. No need to change it. Right now things are fine. If Flatbush has no room, there really is no gud place to put some Flatbush routes(I.e, b49 to ulmer park, no room there, no need to split b44). Grand Ave, built for 200 buses(articles prior and post to the opening confirm this) could fit some 44 runs but still, no need to do that. Plus, with routes being cut along with runs, there should be space at respective depots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted April 11, 2010 Share #25 Posted April 11, 2010 Again, it's not that FB can't take on those routes [but would need to swap some of their lines with other depots]. It's the union thing, they don't want a full merge with NYCT because they'll lose their seniority. If not for that for sure the B100 should be transfered to Flatbush and maybe the Q35 split b/w FR and FB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
