Proposed Final Plan: B53 Local

As part of both the Queens and Brooklyn Bus Network Redesigns, the proposed B53 would be a new interborough route serving segments of the existing B32 and B24 and replacing the two routes. The proposed B53 would serve the entire stretch of Broadway from Broadway Junction to Williamsburg, continuing through Williamsburg via Kent Avenue/Wythe Avenue, and extending across Greenpoint Avenue to Sunnyside, serving the 7 Train at 46 St-Bliss St. The route would replace existing Q24 service from Broadway Junction to Lafayette Avenue (the proposed Q24 would still operate on Atlantic Avenue east of Broadway Junction). It would also replace the existing B32 in its entirety and the northern segment of the existing B24 on Greenpoint Avenue (the other half of the B24 would be served by the proposed Q68).

As a Local route, stops would be spaced slightly further apart than existing to speed up buses and improve reliability.

Frequencies and service span would resemble the existing B32. Service would operate 24 hours (between Broadway Junction and Williamsburg Bridge Plaza only).
