Route

The existing Bx15 will be split into two routes to improve reliability and bus speeds throughout the length of the route. The new Bx15 Local and Limited service will operate between The Hub and Fordham Plaza at all times, as it currently does on weekdays. The new M125 route will replace service along 125 Street to The Hub. The new Bx15 will thus avoid the traffic delays and reliability issues originating on 125 Street.

Key connecting routes include: Bx9, Bx12 Select Bus Service, Bx19, Bx21, Bx36, and Bx41 Select Bus Service.

Stops

Fifteen percent (6 of 39) of the Bx15 stops along the new alignment will be removed, improving stop spacing from 967 feet to 1,154 feet. Five percent (1 of 21) of the Bx15 Limited stops will be removed, improving the average distance between stops from 1,838 feet to 1,940 feet.

See the route profile with full stop list.

Schedule

The weekday Bx15 Local and Limited schedules will be adjusted slightly due to ridership trends and the routing change introduced by the new M125. However, the combined frequencies of the Bx15 Local and Bx15 Limited will remain the same as they currently are. Due to the routing change, ridership will be closely monitored, and schedules will be adjusted accordingly
