Draft Plan: B20 Rush

For languages other than English, use the Google Translate tool at the bottom of this page.

As part of the Brooklyn Bus Network Redesign, the proposed B20 would be shortened on its northern end, terminating at Broadway Junction in order to improve reliability. Service between Broadway and Fresh Pond would be provided by the proposed B7, traveling a similar path via Cooper St/Av, 61 St/62 St, and Fresh Pond Rd. The proposed B20 would also be streamlined in East New York. The route would travel directly via Stanley Av between the USPS facility and Fountain Av. Service on Eldert Ln would be provided by the proposed B14. Service on Linden Blvd east of Fountain Av would be provided by the proposed B14, B15, and B55. Between Ashford St and Pennsylvania Av, the proposed B20 would travel on Stanley Av instead of Wortman Av, speeding up travel to the subway and better spacing bus routes through the area. Existing service on Wortman Av would be discontinued, though service would still also be provided on nearby Cozine Av by the proposed B5, B6, and B103. Bus service changes in Brooklyn are still being reviewed and will be finalized as part of the Brooklyn Bus Network Redesign Proposed Final Plan. 

To match stop spacing on other local and limited-stop portions of Rush routes, B20 stops east of Pennsylvania Av would be spaced slightly farther apart than existing, while stops on Pennsylvania Av would only be located at key destinations and major transfer points. 

Frequencies would be increased on weekdays and weekends. No service span changes are being proposed at this time.
