Review the B82 route summary
The proposed B82 would be shortened on its southern end, terminating at Cropsey Av/Bay 37 St as the B82 SBS does. The Gravesend-bound B82 would serve Shore Pkwy between Bay Pkwy and 26 Av, replacing existing B6 service. Service on Cropsey Av between 26 Av and Coney Island would be provided by the proposed B64. In Flatlands, the proposed B82 would travel between Kings Hwy and Flatlands Av via Avenue K instead of via Flatbush Av, sharing the same travel path as the B82 SBS, traveling on the Kings Hwy bus lanes for a greater distance, and avoiding congestion on Flatbush Av. Existing service on Flatlands Av between Flatbush Av and Avenue K would be discontinued.
As a Local route, stops would be spaced slightly farther apart than existing to speed up buses and improve reliability.
Frequencies would be slightly increased during Early Evenings on weekends. No service span changes are being proposed at this time.
