Gorgor Posted February 8, 2012 Share #451 Posted February 8, 2012 FamousNYLover, I'm sorry but I won't be able to get to your map requests until this weekend. I've been working really hard lately on the express bus map of the full 5 boroughs and will hopefully be done with this soon. The Long Island express bus won't be part of the map because it would just be too cluttered, and the BxM4C will be the same color as the other Bronx buses but have some distinction in its bullet than the rest. (Like how the X23 and X24 AE buses are different compared to the other SI Expresses) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keon Milton Posted March 11, 2012 Share #454 Posted March 11, 2012 Here's an express bus route I created: the X26. The route would operate rush hours only between Dyker Heights, Brooklyn at 7th Avenue and 92nd Street and Midtown Manhattan at 3rd Avenue and 57th Street. The route would travel to Midtown via 7th Avenue, 86th Street, 4th Avenue, Flatbush Avenue, Manhattan Bridge, Bowery and 3rd Avenue. The route would travel to Dyker Heights via Lexington Avenue, 23rd Street, 3rd Avenue, Bowery, Manhattan Bridge, Flatbush Avenue, 4th Avenue, 86th Street and 7th Avenue. The express section would be from Bowery and Canal Street in Chinatown, Manhattan to 4th Avenue and 86th Street in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. What do you guys think? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think anyone that would subject themselves to such a route should bring a pillow ! having anything run on bowery & across the manhattan bridge to flatbush/4th is torturous enough during rush hour..... then you wanna run it on 4th all the way to 86th st.... and then across the heart of commercial 86th st.... wow.... Seriously, that won't be much of an express route..... It almost looks like you chose the slowest routing possible on purpose.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, that won't be much of an express route..... It almost looks like you chose the slowest routing possible on purpose.... I figured that... When I looked over it, I thought to myself that this wouldn't work after all. To be honest, creating a bus route is not very easy when the creator, namely me, don't consider factors, such as street traffic and other transit alternatives in the area. Anyway, thank you for the constructive criticism. When I plan another bus route next time around, I'll be sure to consider those all-important factors.

IRT Bronx Express Posted March 29, 2012 Share #459 Posted March 29, 2012 (edited) Bx7A - replaces the Bx20. It would operate like the current Bx4/4A, one via Henry Hudson and another one via Riverdale Ave. Bx28/28 LTD - replaces the Bx38. Locals would short turn at Norwood, LTDs would terminate at Fordham Ctr, weekdays only. Bx55/55A - Extensions to Wakefield. 55 would terminate at Mott Haven, 55A would terminate at Yankee Stadium (maybe that shopping center at 153 St...) Bx6/6A - same, but the 6A would serve west of Hunts Point. lol... A certain someone could use that advice...Hmm...

Personally, I think the MTA should drop this a,b,c thing and just designate them as new routes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The M60 already goes from Manhattan-LGA, and the Q32 being the Midtown connection would be too long without it having a non stip portion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mysterious2train Posted May 17, 2012 Share #475 Posted May 17, 2012 (edited) Click on the image to make it a little bigger... The Q57, runs between Church Av/Nostrand Av (Church Av ) in Flatbush, Brooklyn and Woodhaven Blvd/Hoffman Drive (Woodhaven Blvd ) [Queens Center Mall] in Elmhurst, Queens. Turns around in Queens using the Q11, Q21 and future Q52's congested turn-around route. I don't know where to have it turn around on the Brooklyn end. Runs non-stop between Pennsylvania Av/Fulton St and Woodhaven Blvd/Myrtle Av. Edited May 17, 2012 by Mysterious2train 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
