Crowding (especially during rush hour) Bus bunching / reliability Amount of service to Williamsburg Lack of real-time information

Traffic Concerns • Double parking • Congestion / slow bus trips • Bus lane being blocked / lack of enforcement Safety Concerns • Pedestrian safety at complex intersections • Dangerous driver behavior / speeding • Lighting at night 9

Types of data collected: • • • • • •

Bus speeds Bus delay Bus ridership per stop Traffic volumes Parking activity Crash data 10

Northbound

Ridership • High ridership at many existing B46 Limited stops, particularly those with subway/bus transfers • Largest percentage of riders are traveling north to or south from 34 at Eastern Pkwy or AC at Fulton St • Only 9% of riders travel between Broadway and the rest of the route Top 5 Busiest Stops

Bus Speeds On average, the B46 LTD runs at 7.5 mph during the AM peak and 6.5 mph during the PM peak Causes of slow speeds are: •

Busy stops

Congestion

Current B46 Local and LTD Service Pattern • B46 LTD generally travels between Kings Plaza and Williamsburg Bridge Plaza • B46 LTD makes all local stops north of DeKalb Ave and south of Ave H • B46 Local generally travels between Kings Plaza and DeKalb Ave

14

Proposed B46 Stations Local and Service Pattern • Maintain high-ridership Limited stops and key transfers • SBS will make Limited stops south of Avenue H, as it will elsewhere • Extend local service to full corridor, 24 hours per day • Northern terminal of SBS will be DeKalb Ave to increase reliability and better serve busiest portion of route • Only 9% of riders travel between Broadway and the rest of the route, yet Broadway section is 24% of route miles and has the slowest speeds
