There have been numerous updates to the timelines for the implementation of SBS routes.

First of all, the M79 SBS will begin operation on May 21, 2017, a month later than anticipated.

B82 SBS

B82 SBS will go into operation in 2018

SBS service will terminate at Cropsey Avenue and Bay 37th Street with the local continuing to Coney Island.

SBS service will be rerouted via Avenue K between Flatlands Avenue and Kings Highway with an additional stop, instead of going via Flatbush Avenue.

It would go via Glenwood Road to get rid of a complicated routing that slows speeds.

Along the route, several crosswalks would be installed. Curb bus lanes would also be installed.

SBS for LIC?

At a mayoral town hall in Sunnyside, Mayor de Blasio announced that a SBS route is being looked into the area.

Where do you think this route might go?

Any updates for Q25 and Q113 SBS?

I haven't seen anything on the DOT website.
