S79 +Select Bus Service+

[Pacific385]

Effective Last Sunday September 2nd, the S79 joins the BX12, M15, M34/A in becoming a Select Bus Service Line. On average, passengers save 7 minutes on their daily commute which is far less than the MTA Estimate of 15-20 minutes.

[Orion V CNG #748]

I actually saw an ad about SBS coming to Staten Island on the 6 train.
Couldnt believe it until now lol, Nice to see MTA keeping passengers happy about the time of there commute.

& btw is it true that the Q44 might have +SBS+? I hear people talking about it comming someday....

It would be better if they put the Orion 5 in the SBS Livery and reran it in the S79 without their maximum speed limitor.
