About the route
The proposed B41 Local runs between Downtown Brooklyn and Kings Plaza.
The current length of the B41 Local route is 7.5 miles. The proposed length of the B41 Local route is 7.2 miles.
In the existing route, the average stop spacing is 985 feet. Under the proposed route, that would increase to 1,097 feet.
In the existing route, there are 0.7 turns per mile. Under the proposed route, that would increase slightly to 0.8 turns per mile, due to rerouting to make turnarounds at the Downtown Brooklyn terminal smoother.
The route would include connections to the B3, B5, B6, B6-LTD, B7, B8, B9, B10, B11, B12, B16, B25, B26, B27, B35, B37, B38, B40, B41-SBS, B43, B44, B44-SBS, B45, B46, B46-SBS, B47, B48, B49, B52, B55, B57, B61, B62, B63, B65, B67, B69, B81, B82, B82-SBS, B100, B103, Q35, the trains, and the Long Island Rail Road at Atlantic Terminal.

Review the B41 Local route summary
The proposed B41 would maintain the same routing as its Kings Plaza branch. 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 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 Local route, stops would be spaced slightly farther apart than existing to speed up buses and improve reliability.
Frequencies would be the same as on existing B41 Local trips to Kings Plaza. No service span changes are being proposed at this time.
