Brooklyn has no lack of bus routes that go North and South through the borough, according to Gilles, who is part of a group of residents and local officials pushing to revive the B71 bus route ...

The proposed new map would add Bay Ridge, Atlantic Ave. and Wall St. stops to the St. George route, connecting Brooklyn and Staten Island for the first time.

Bus stops on local routes in Brooklyn are an average of 830 feet apart, which means buses sometimes stop every one to two blocks. Some turns would also be removed to speed up routes.
