Also, why does the Bx20 not extend to either 263 St or the Riverdale MNR Station? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, why does the Bx20 not extend to either 263 St or the Riverdale MNR Station? The Bx20 is only there to provide service to Spuyten Duyvil. It runs to the train. It doesn't need to go past 246th and Henry Hudson Parkway because the Bx7 provides that service already. The Bx20 is already unreliable as it is, so it makes sense to keep it where it is. The Bx10 to 231st Street are buses to serve the train. Those buses usually go back to the depot afterwards, so better to run them and get passengers than have them run empty. There's already shuttle buses that serve the Riverdale and Spuyten Duyvil MNR Station - The Hudson Raillink Edited February 4, 2020 by Via Garibaldi 8 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it's happened to me and a few of my friends. More short turns I can memorize: Q5 231 ST M5 157 ST (168 closedown) Bx6 SBS SOUTHERN BL (From HP) M101 161 ST (Someone correct me on this one, I know it's around 161st Street). Some infamous ones: M101/102/103 96 ST Q27 JAMAICA AV Q17 HHE 188 ST A very annoying few that some of you probably encountered: Q44 SBS PARKCHESTER Q44 SBS WHITESTONE M60 SBS 116 ST (I don't believe this one is a sign but they do turn some at 116th from time to time). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back when I was out that way the Q5 used to short at 233 ST, is 231 now? M101 161 ST shortturn happens every now and again, 101,102, 103 96 ST is very common in the evenings I think there is/was a Q46 SPRINGFIELD BL shortie (there was on the RTS) B46 FILLMORE AV M2 145 ST M5 135 ST For the M60+/M101 there's probly an AMSTERDAM AV/125 shortturn I know the M1/2/3/4 all have 59 ST The M101/102/103 all have 24 ST I'm sure they're many more 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainfan22 Posted February 5, 2020 Share #29855 Posted February 5, 2020 M100 short turn at 5th Ave & 125th street, seems pointless as if the bus travels that far might as go the whole route.. I seen an M42 short turn before as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Valiant Posted February 5, 2020 Share #29856 Posted February 5, 2020 (edited) The most annoying short turn for many in Brooklyn is the B25 shortened to Cadman Plaza. I’ve seen it a few times after waiting several minutes for my bus, only for it to be the last stop once it arrived....

Others: Q32 Midtown 42 St Q60 Sunnyside 33 St Q53 163 AVE Bx36 Webster Ave In terms of dreaded short-turn, there's the "E L Grant Hwy / University Ave" on the Bx11, Bx35, and Bx36. It can be a bit of a guessing game during the PM rush on which buses will short-turn. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonight on the B41 they had one articulated bus in full passenger service to Cadman plaza. Looks like they are testing the waters for this 41 conversion. Something tells me fall pick or winter ‘21 pick this could possibly take place. With regards to the bus stops: I know of 2 stops not modified yet (Local stops). Southbound Beverley Road, and Dorchester Road. Like you indicated earlier today there are quite a few not modified. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P3F Posted February 5, 2020 Share #29864 Posted February 5, 2020 (edited) I'm sure there's more that I'm forgetting. B68 PARK CIRCLE (probably for buses going back to the depot) B1 OCEAN PKY B100 BEDFORD AV (yes, the bus is done after a single stop) Also, the B82 short turns still display 24 AV / CROPSEY AV instead of BENSONHURST / BAY 38 ST like the Select buses do. I could swear that at some point those signs read 25 AV / CROPSEY AV and the avenue was switched. But I could be misremembering that.
