Posted by BrooklynBus on Tue May 31 21:59:48 2011, in response to Re: MTA Bus Ridership Dwindles As Subway Gains, posted by New Flyer #857 on Tue May 31 13:28:28 2011. People will generally not walk four blocks when transfering between a bus and subway. And yes, at least some B49s have to go to the Station. There is not enough capacity for everyone on the B1. But I don't think all the buses have to go there all the time. I once proposed a B49 and a B50. The B49 would use its present route. The B50 could use the pre 1978 route going directly from Emmons to Ocean Avenue and would continue straight up Ocean Avenue to Empire Blvd and then turn east. With extra service on Rogers to be provided bytr the B44 SBS, I think it would be a good idea to re-examine that plan.The reason the Limited shows it going on Sheephead Bay Road the whole way is that it only operates southbound in the AM. There is no Limited northbound. (At 3PM half the B49s could use the pre-1978 route and as much time would be saved as the Limited.) |
