Eliminating Brooklyn bus stops under redesign project will make commutes longer, residents say
Briefly

"The biggest problem is the elimination of bus stops. They are planning to eliminate around one-third of the bus stops in Brooklyn, over a thousand bus stops," he said.
"I had no idea that they were proposing to cut any stops. And, you know, this is our lifeline to the subway," said Jamee Schleifer, pointing to a stop which is proposed to be cut along Oriental Boulevard in Manhattan Beach.
"It angers me because the people making these decisions don't even come to these neighborhoods," said lifelong resident Ann Michelle Valdez at the time.
"They're saying that each bus will save an average of 20 seconds per bus stop, for the bus stops they eliminated. But the fallacy in that argument is that every bus stops at every stop."
