Local buses:
For most local bus services, the headways will decrease during at least during one of the rush hour periods. Although I do not know what the Bx44 bus is. The M20 though is seeing uniform 20 minute headways now, instead of several spots of 15 minute headways. The M86 will see slightly less frequent service on Saturdays. The Q31 will run on a uniform 30 minute headway on Sundays instead of having some periods where the headway is every 20 minutes.
Express buses:
For the express buses, the X1 is seeing slightly more frequent service in the evening. Most of the other Hylan Blvd variants will also see decreases in headway, primarily during the AM rush (the X9 is the only one that will go up during that time). There will be more X10 service in the evening, but at the cost of less AM rush service. The X17J will see a slight increase in headway in the AM rush, but a decrease in the PM rush. The X21 will see a PM rush decrease in headway, with buses running every 20 minutes instead of every 30 minutes.
The X63/64/68 will see trip time adjustments only.
