About the route

The proposed B25 Local runs between DUMBO and Broadway Junction. 

The current length of the B25 route is 6.0 miles. This would not change under the Draft Plan.

In the existing route, the average stop spacing is 736 feet. Under the proposed route, that would increase to 938 feet. 

In the existing route and the proposed route, there are 1.0 turns per mile.

The route would include connections to the B7, B10, B12, B15, B20, B26, B27, B37, B38, B41, B41-SBS, B43, B44, B44-SBS, B45, B46, B46-SBS, B47, B48, B49, B52, B53, B54, B57, B60, B61, B62, B63, B65, B66, B67, B69, B76, B83, Q24, Q56, the  trains, and the Long Island Rail Road at Atlantic Terminal and East New York.

Route improvements

  • Improved stop spacing
  • Priority Corridor

Review the B25 route summary

The proposed B25 would maintain its existing routing all times except overnight. Overnight, the route would travel between Broadway Junction and Franklin Av. Overnight service between Franklin Av and Downtown Brooklyn would be available on the subway via the accessible Franklin Av  station (marked as a   station; the stops there overnight) or via the proposed B26, which would be rerouted via Fulton St west of Bedford/Nostrand Avs.

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.
