Title: S79 +Select Bus Service+
Post by: Pacific385 on September 05, 2012, 04:05:13 pm: 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.

Here's an article: http://mta.info/news/stories/?story=797 (http://mta.info/news/stories/?story=797)

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....
