The Brooklyn bus
route and service modifications described here are designed to improve bus service by making it more efficient and reliable.
These proposals are the result of numerous years of thought and discussions.
We present
it to stimulate discussion. In the event that some of the proposed modifications are not acceptable, various alternatives
are possible.
These
proposals provide improved direct service and improved connections to buses and subways while minimizing inconvenience.
It seeks to take underutilized routes such as the B2, B9, B13,
B16, B23, B31, B64, B69, and B70 and make them more productive by rerouting and extending them to major traffic
generators.
Rather than merely proposing additional service that would not be acceptable
to New York City Transit, we are suggesting service increases and balanced by decreases within each community so that the
final operating cost will not be significantly more to operate than the current system (excluding airport services).
The improved service and connections should stimulate ridership thereby justifying
future bus service increases.
