Review the B11 route summary
The proposed B11 would mostly maintain its existing routing with only a minor Changes approaching its western terminal. Westbound, the proposed B11 would use 57 St instead of 53 St to travel between 2 Av and 1 Av, reducing travel time for customers headed to the Brooklyn Army Terminal. Eastbound, the proposed B11 would use 56 St instead of 52 St to travel between 2 Av and 4 Av. These proposed changes would streamline the route while still providing service to NYU Langone Hospital Brooklyn.
As a Local route, stops would be spaced slightly farther apart than existing to speed up buses and improve reliability.
No frequency or service span changes are being proposed at this time.
