Mysterious2train Posted July 17, 2011 Share #304 Posted July 17, 2011 (edited) Let's see... -B83 to FranklinAv-Fulton St -B26 to Fulton Landing to replace B25 -B25 gone -B69 to Jay St-Metrotech, all times full route, weekends Park Slope to Grand Army Plz only -B46 to Woodhull Hospital -B47 to Williamsburg -B12 LTD -B49 replaced B48 -B48 gone Good sir, do you realize what peoples reactions would be if this happened "Well Mr. , we know you are only doing this with good intentions, so we will work with the alternatives we have" Yeah, you got all of them... except for the B54/Q55 merger :cool: Also, just to clarify, the B67 is axed, the B69 is extended to the same place where the B62 (and the B57 before it was extended) terminate. All the old B67 trips (meaning every other bus on weekdays and all buses on weekends) terminate at Grand Army Plaza. I swear, I will accept full responsibility if the uses these ideas as service cuts. I will personally see to it that every man, woman, and child affected goes on their way, and help every potential commuter along those routes as well Also, at first, that small section was the only part of the the Brooklyn Bus Map from July 2010 onwards I found online that I could edit (As you know, the PDF files the posts on their website can't be edited.) If someone could post the entire July 2011 bus map online as an image where I could save it and edit it... Anyway, I found a July 2010 Downtown Brooklyn inset map after lots of searching, I guess I'll fool around with that. If I have nothing else to do, of course. EDIT: The quality of that map is pretty bad. Darn it. EDIT EDIT: Not even gonna work on it. EDIT EDIT EDIT: Found a somewhat better Downtown Brooklyn map on Second Avenue Sagas. And I'm not gonna make any more edits Edited July 17, 2011 by Mysterious2train 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amtrak7 Posted July 17, 2011 Share #305 Posted July 17, 2011 There is a way to make the MTA map editable, but I can't reveal it. Also it's not ideal as all text/numbers become unformatted spaced line-drawings of characters and the file is over 10x bigger. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was also a NG that smelled strongly of weed! :eek: That's really nothing...how far was you from after you initially got on? Besides, the longest I was even stuck on a bus was during the last blizzard. I was on the Q67 comming from work (the bus was a hybrid so that made it worse smh) and we got around the corner drom "Death Hill" (if you ride the Q67 westbound, you'll know what it is) and stopped cuz there was a truck stuck ahead of us at the bottom of the hill...eventually we got snowed in. We tried diggine it out and we made it move...for about 20' Usual time on the Q67: 25-30 mins Time stuck on bus: 3 hours Usual commute time: 1 hour, 10 mins (50 if I caught the 11:50 B26) Blizzard commute time: 7 hours 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R42 M Train Posted July 17, 2011 Share #312 Posted July 17, 2011 Is it me or does ECH not give a flying truck about its local RTS fleet?

Mysterious2train Posted July 17, 2011 Share #315 Posted July 17, 2011 There's still Orion Vs at Gleason Can't believe I didn't notice this earlier.

Some of those RTS you saw are on the line for scrap. There are other ones that ECH uses for service & they're decently taken care of. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4P3607 Posted July 20, 2011 Share #322 Posted July 20, 2011 It seems like the is having alot of disastrously, Secret sinful plans to eliminate all these routes. As long as they don't cut the Q38, then i'm happy. IMO The should extend the Q59 from its terminal, and make it go down Junction Blvd and go to LeFrak City via the Q38. That would then make an option for LeFrak city residents and other people around there to have better access to the train in brooklyn... and... wherever the Q59 goes . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtNovaBusRTS9369 Posted July 20, 2011 Share #323 Posted July 20, 2011 Cut, Cut, Cut is all the thinks about nowadays. Can't they just try thinking of at least extending some or even change the routes before thinking about eliminating them. Routes like the (B39), (Q74), (Q79) etc. I'll comment more on that on the One year anniversary after devasting doomsday bus cuts thread later. Anyhoo earlier this morning I heard another (Q83) bus w/ a special sound. This time it was a hybrid. The thing sounded like a freakin flying saucer w/ a high pitched sound. Whichever bus it was sounded good! I was actually impressed.:cool: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That branch was eliminated in 1997 according to the mta website. (web archive) I'm sorry I took so long to respond, i was looking for the map. According to the map, the Bx1 ran buses off the Concourse down Bedford Park Blvd to Paul ave. It then ran down Paul ave to Moshulu Pkwy and goes back to it's current route. There is no information on the back of the map on frequency or amount of Bx1 buses that ran down Bedford Pk Blvd since some buses also ran the regular route down Grand Concourse with the Bx2. Btw, the map was updated as of May 1991 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
