1. is the person causing buses to move too slowly, for one thing
3. cannot answer as my travel patterns were not specified, and because of this nobody has any way of knowing whether it is quicker or slower

Reason: more info, 3rd answer

1. So if they're double parked and they're not causing the bus to be delayed, then you're cool with that?
Wow I had to use like almost every one...
3. It is the nature of the forum to help. thats why people like yourself come here to ask questions, to get answers. it is almost like a reflex on this forum to propose alternative suggestions, such as a different route. if you're uncomfortable with putting your daily route on the Internet, I understand. So I humbly suggest finding a new way to travel.

fair enough. my apologies if you were offended by anything I said seventhfloor. I know the transit system; I am not looking for any alt routes, but thank you anyway

Not offended but your issue seems like an easy fix. In all honesty I think you just really like taking the bus and for whatever reason don't want to switch, and just wished it would run faster. But in life we must learn that we always don't get what we want. Either way good luck.

not an easy fix b/c calling police is a band-aid solution in this case; thanks again. I will keep fighting for this cause
like taking the bus..sort of. I like taking certain SBS buses, locals not really. it comes down to environmental concerns and not being tasked with any driving for which I am not paid; the less I am on the road as a vehicle operator the better as I do not like dealing with people speeding (I obey speed limits to a tee), circumventing double parked vehicles, and all the other ugliness that goes on on the road

Reason: specification of paid driving
I was ranting? All I have been doing this entire time is asking questions! If I say, "from you, I want answers to my questions. In general, I want people to stop double parking on streets where buses run," that counts as ranting or getting worked up? Or if I ask a long question or present a logic puzzle like I did in posts 17 and 26, that counts as ranting or getting worked up?
LMAO. As I've always said, it's amazing that somebody could write so much, and yet write nothing at all. I mean, the density of nothingness in his posts is outstanding.
And I like how he assumes (and we all know what happens when you assume) that you're a transplant. As if transplants are the only ones who want free-flowing buses. And if you're a native, you must have a car. Never mind the fact that less than 40% of Brooklyn households actually own a car. Sure, a lot of them take the subway if it's available, but isn't it possible that sometimes, they might want to travel to neighborhoods (**gasp**) outside the reach of the subway?
Aside from that, I remember another user on another forum (you probably know who I'm talking about), who mentioned that during rush hour, with all the issues getting in and out of Flatbush Avenue, you have a lot of people who get off at say, Church, and take the B44 further down, rather than wait for the train to make its way to Flatbush Avenue.
actually I think he was sayin that the peeps gettin off at Church Ave take the local down a few blocks, or maybe they do get off at Church and ride past JCT. w/e I think most of em get out at JCT, those going past it will get off at Church if the train is being held there as Church is a gap station (holding lights), tho those riding in the 1st car (where you gotta be to get to the B44 at JCT ASAP) will def. not get out at Church since the exits there are at the middle of the train
