Review the B100 route summary
The proposed B100 would mostly maintain its existing routing, except for using Avenue R instead of Quentin Rd between E 16 St and Gerritsen Av in order to avoid congestion along Kings Hwy and to replace the B2 which is proposed to be retired. Service on Quentin Rd would be discontinued.
As a Local route, stops would be spaced slightly farther apart than existing to speed up buses and improve reliability. Frequencies would be increased Saturday Late Evenings and all day on Sundays.
Frequencies would be slightly decreased Weekday Late Evenings. Service span would be increased.
