1) Yes, Giffords Lane would get the S79A.

2) In the cities, hospitals are generally located near public transit. However, the South Shore is pretty suburban, so there is no real place where it could be located that would both serve the South Shore and be accessable by transit (though I think they could've at least built it near the SIR, perhaps around Tottenville)

3) I've noticed that about the S89 as well. You'll see an S89 with a handful of people cruising down Richmond Avenue, and then a pretty crowded S44 or S59 following shortly behind it (like I said in another post, part of that problem can be solved by keeping the S44/S59/S89 serving the same side of the SI Mall)

4) That's a problem, but at least one-way service is better than no service. Plus, Fahy Avenue and Goethals Road North are the only streets wide enough to handle a bus (and north of the SIE, all of the roads feed into Goethals Road North, so it is impossible to run two-way service north of the SIE).

In the mornings, there are a few short-turn S62s operating between Clove Road and CSI, so you're right that there is definitely demand for service to Brooklyn.
