Atlantic Yards and Buses
Brooklyn Speaks
Anyone who rides buses that travel close to the Atlantic Yards site knows how painfully slow they can be. And in fact three of the buses that serve the area – the B63, B52 and B41 – are some of the slowest in Brooklyn, according to the recently released results of the Straphangers Campaign's Pokey Awards (click here for the table of results). The B63, which runs along Flatbush Avenue and Fifth Avenue, was found to be Brooklyn's second slowest bus; the B52, which serves Greene Avenue and Fulton Street, is the third slowest; and the B41 on Flatbush is only marginally faster than these routes. And if the Atlantic Yards plan gets built as currently proposed, these buses will get even more unbearably slow.
