See, SUNNYSIDE, is probably a nicely settled place, where it's calm and "safe" everything, and this is the express bus, where it's generally calm and everything, no ruckus. SUNNYSIDE is probably somewhere where most people would like to be in or reside. The run number is generally signifcant of the opposite, a reminder a place where nobody wants to be associated with.

 

Look at it from an OP perspective as well: The express bus is less of a problem than the local in crowd and types of riders for the most part. It also has it's differences too (like severely long times per trip).
