Used to get off at the first stop (battery/west) & take the 20 straight to christopher, but I can't deal with that route on any regular basis (although it puts me off much closer). I have to make sure I get on the buses that say "Downtown Loop", since I work over in the village (I get off at Barclay, then walk back the block for the M5 vesey to head on up to Christopher). few reasons) in the morning from the Utica/Av K stop. Me, I take the BM1 ( moreso than the BM2 now. ( during the AM rush, buses don't serve both lower & midtown manhattan - it's one or the other) If you don't see "Super Express" or "Downtown Loop", those are the buses that serve both Lower Manhattan & Midtown Manhattan. When you see "Downtown Loop", those are the buses that only serve Lower Manhattan from Brooklyn. When you see "Super Express", those are the buses that go straight to Midtown from Brooklyn. I don't see where you're confused either. Learn something new every I don't know man, when I read the signage on the bus, it doesn't say anything but Super Express and via Brooklyn streets. You're a male with a name like Kriston huh. Speaking of the BM3, had the weather not been so crappy I would've used it today to go down to the bay but alas. As B35 said, the big ones start at Ave K. All other stops generally may get a few people here or there.
The main areas where the bus picks up on the BM3 is along Batchelder and Avenue X and East 28th street.
As you said, good exercise and hey you can always stop off for a snack or an espresso too as I do.Īs for traffic, the BM's spend the least amount of time on the Gowanus out of all of the express buses and even when there is traffic I'd say that they usually are able to get in and out without too many problems unless the Battery is a total mess.Īs for a seat, yeah you should be able to get a decent seat. When I take the BxM2, I walk over from 7th to 5th to get the BM3 down to Sheepshead Bay and walk over to 6th from Madison to get the BxM2 back to Riverdale. So you'll be walking from Madison to Eight. Would that mean I'd always have a seat during the AM peak? Yes, I will be around Kings Highway (that is if all goes as planned). I wonder because I always hear about Jamie Shupak warning about backups on the Gowanus in the mornings. Work is on the West Side, but I don't mind walking to/from Eighth Avenue, exercise is good! That one time I took it there wasn't any horrendous traffic on the expressway or FDR Drive.
