I today was looking at the SI bus map i have and i've noticed that the s55 southrn terminal is at Arthur kill road and Bloomingdale road. ..that same road has an access to the outerbridge crossing and thus access toPerth Amboy
The hypothetical s55 extension would leave Staten Island and hence the city and state to access Perth Amboy. ...the route would run down the Outerbridge towards the exit at Convery Blvd then run down said Blv. To Smith street to finallyreach the RR station...in ddifference to the s89 the s55 would make several stops at P. Amboy (possibly 6-7) and would have fair good connection to the NJT Railroad. .thus a Staten islanders can access to a rail and pay a decent fare (half cut down from Penn Station) and not have to go all the way to Manhattan to catch a train and head to the north shore
Also as the s55 connects to the s89 at the Eltingville Transit ctr one from Bayonne can reach Perth Amboy for just $2.75
But the main plot is for a good connection for the RR and access to this big moderate city...the service can stay unchanged weekdays only and lastly have the s56 not terminate at the Tottenville HS and just make a loop and come back to Hylan Blvd and terminate at Richmond ave and Hylan
I forgot to mention that even a person from Brooklyn (BayRidge Fort Hamilton) can access Perth Amboy for just $2.75 since the SBS s79 also connects to the s55 at the Eltingville T.C.
