SMH at them making it an extension of the B67 (and stopping short of WBP). This would've been the perfect chance to attach it to the Court Street portion of the B57. So you'd have:B57: Maspeth-Downtown Brooklyn B58: WBP-Red Hook via Navy Yard |

Both routes are short of the major transfer transit terminals. The B67 Washington/Williamsburg Bridge Plaza & the B32 Queens Plaza/Queensboro Plaza. Anyone want to guess why? |

In the case of the B32, they would need another bus.By running it between the Plaza and CSQ, a 30 minute headway would work allowing for sufficient recovery time with 2 buses on the route at any one time. If extended to QP, 3 buses would be needed, which would result in longer recovery time which NYCT believes leads to unproductive bus operator utilization. Just a thought. |

But now with the governor approving another $500 million in operating funds for the MTA, that 30 minute headway needs to be looked at again. A lot of people will be discouraged from taking any bus that rus on a 30 minute schedule. |

Maybe somebody can answer this, if the B 67 is heading to the Navy Yard and the B 32 has nearby route patterns in Williamsburg, then WTH is the point of keeping the B 69 and would it just make sense (I have been saying since the B 61 was split) to consider keeping the B 61 along Park Av/ Tillery St instead of serving Vinegar Hill? |

I can see potential in the future of a combine B 32/B 69 route especially pax from Greenpoint/Williamsburg going to Barclays... |

The intent is to use two buses, as that three buses would cost more.I think that sending the B32 and B67 to QBP and WBP, respectively, would, at least, pay for themselves based on increased ridership, reduced travel times, and increased connectivity. |
