Review the BM35 route summary

As part of the Brooklyn Bus Network Redesign, the BM5 would be re-labeled as the BM35 to be consistent with other Brooklyn Express routes to Midtown Manhattan. The existing route path would be maintained. 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 portions of Express routes, BM35 stops on local streets would be spaced slightly farther apart than existing to speed up travel time and improve reliability. Along the highway, Express routes travel non-stop to and from Manhattan.

Weekday frequencies would remain the same as the existing BM5. Weekday spans would be shortened due to low ridership on some trips. Saturday service would be discontinued due to low ridership.
