Review the B27 route summary

The proposed B27 would be a new route connecting Red Hook and Vinegar Hill/Brooklyn Navy Yard via Cobble Hill and Downtown Brooklyn. This route would replace existing B57 service between Red Hook and Vinegar Hill, with an extension to York St to replace existing B62 service between Vinegar Hill/Brooklyn Navy Yard and Downtown Brooklyn.

As a Local route, stops would be spaced slightly farther apart than existing to speed up buses and improve reliability.

Service frequencies and span would resemble existing B57 service.
