BM5 via Woodhaven Posted May 4, 2015 Share #1 Posted May 4, 2015 I catch the BM5, bus 3150. While the bus ride to 57 Street was quick, I did not like how that bus squeaked. It became rather annoying, and it could be heard more towards the back 2005 MCI D4500CL 3150 on the BM5 at 57 Street/ 3 Avenue by BM5 via Woodhaven, on Flickr Here's a shot I took while on the bus: 1999 Nova Bus RTS 5232 on the M57 at 57 Street/ Lexington Avenue by BM5 via Woodhaven, on Flickr Route: BM5 Bus: 3150 Time: 1:15 PM Origin: Spring Creek Towers Destination: Midtown Manhattan Pick-up (Brooklyn and Queens) Stop Pick-up Revenue* Before Woodhaven/63 Dr 13 $84.50 Woodhaven Blvd/ 63 Drive 1 $6.50 Drop Off (Manhattan) Stop Drop-Off 34 Street/ 3 Avenue 3 34 Street/ Park Avenue 3 Madison Avenue/35 Street 2 Madison Avenue/54 Street 2 57 Street/ 3 Avenue 3 Total Riders: 14 Total Revenue*: $91.00 Farebox Recovery (Based on NYCT Figures, MTA Bus figures are higher): 48%* * Revenue accounts if all passengers paid with a pay-per-ride, which affects farebox recovery.
