Review the B41-SBS route summary
The proposed B41 Crosstown would maintain the same routing as the existing Kings Plaza branch of the B41 LTD. Service on Avenue N/Veterans Av would be provided by the new proposed B40 Rush, whose northern terminal would be at Flatbush Av/Empire Blvd.
In Downtown Brooklyn, the proposed B41 Crosstown would turn around via Court St and Joralemon St instead of via Cadman Plaza W, Tillary St, and Adams St in order to reduce delays, pending further study by NYC DOT. The proposed B25, B26, B38, and B52 would still provide service on Cadman Plaza W and Tillary St.
As a Crosstown/SBS route, stops would only be located at key destinations and transfer points to provide faster and more reliable service across the corridor.
Frequencies would be the same as on existing B41 LTD trips to Kings Plaza. No service span changes are being proposed at this time.
