Route Improvements

  • Interborough route
  • Improved stop spacing

Review the B54 route summary

As part of the Brooklyn Bus Network Redesign, the proposed B54 would maintain its existing routing. 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 Local routes, B54 stops would be spaced slightly farther apart than existing to speed up buses and improve reliability. 

No frequency or service span changes are being proposed at this time.
