Review the B40 route summary

The proposed B40 Rush would be a new route replacing the Avenue N/Veterans Av branch of the existing B41. The route would be shortened on its northern end to Flatbush Av/Empire Blvd to improve route reliability. The proposed B41 Local and B41 Crosstown would continue to serve Flatbush Av between Empire Blvd and Downtown Brooklyn.

As a new “Rush” route with a local and non-stop section, stops along Avenue N and Veterans Av would be spaced slightly farther apart than existing, while stops along Flatbush Av would only be located at key destinations and major transfer points.

Weekday frequencies would be decreased as compared to the existing B41 Avenue N/Veterans Av branch but would still match ridership demand. Weekend frequencies would match the existing B41 Avenue N/Veterans Av branch. The route would operate 24 hours on weekdays and weekends.
