...led me to look at a Manhattan bus map just cuz.
And I find that - excluding express buses, the B39 is the only Brooklyn bus that goes to Manhattan.
Granted most trips are made by subway because the BMT and IRT built the system with extensive trackage to Manhattan, but the lack of interborough bus service both exacerbates subway crowding and leads to meltdowns like today's.
So why hasn't![(MTA)]()
done more?
