Select Bus Service (SBS), marked on the buses as +select,〔On buses, the "+select" part of the brand is more bolded than the "bus" part.〕 is a brand used by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's MTA Regional Bus Operations for bus rapid transit service in New York City. SBS began service in 2008 in order to improve speed and reliability on long, busy corridors. The first route was the Bx12 along Fordham Road and the Pelham Parkway. , there are ten SBS routes along nine corridors; three SBS corridors in Queens and Brooklyn are planned. ==History== In conjunction with the New York City Department of Transportation, the MTA identified five corridors for implementation of bus rapid transit, one in each of the five boroughs, in late 2004: the Fordham Road/Pelham Parkway corridor in the Bronx, First Avenue and Second Avenue in Manhattan, Merrick Boulevard in Queens, Nostrand Avenue in Brooklyn, and Hylan Boulevard in Staten Island. Four bus priority corridors were also identified for implementation or expansion (three in Manhattan, one in the Bronx): Madison Avenue (expansion), Fifth Avenue, 34th Street, and Webster Avenue.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Map of BRT ideas in New York City )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=MTA Planning – NYC Select Bus Service )〕 The Merrick Boulevard corridor was eventually scrapped because of community opposition related to loss of parking. The Select Bus Service program was unveiled to the public on March 25, 2008.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NYC's First – And Only? – Bus Rapid Transit Route )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mayor Bloomberg, MTA Executive Director and CEO Sander, and DOT Commissioner Sadik-Khan Unveil New MTA Select Bus Service (SBS) System )〕 At the time of the announcement, the MTA and then-Mayor Michael Bloomberg had stated that implementation on other corridors was contingent on the passage of congestion pricing, which ultimately did not make it for a vote in the legislature. The first Select Bus Service corridor, on the along 207th Street, Fordham Road, and Pelham Parkway, was placed into service on June 29, 2008. The next line, the , saw Select Service begin on October 10, 2010 after the delivery of new low-floor buses.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=MTA Bus Company Committee Meeting Materials, July 2010 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nyc.gov/html/brt/downloads/pdf/1st2ndavenews_vol1iss1.pdf )〕 The line was started on November 13, 2011. Initially, a 34th Street busway was planned that would require eliminating 34th Street as a through street, but it was dropped in favor of the standard SBS model. The Rogers/Bedford/Nostrand Avenues bus route, the fifth Select Bus Service corridor in the city, was implemented on November 17, 2013 after the arrival of new fare machines. The Hylan Boulevard/Richmond Avenue route, initially slated to be converted to SBS in 2013, was moved up to September 2, 2012; the local equivalents of the S79 route are the S78 and S59 buses. A sixth corridor, the second for the Bronx, began service on the Webster Avenue route on June 30, 2013; this route was the first "Phase II" SBS route to begin service (the existing corridors plus the B44 comprise Phase I). Another Select Bus Service route on Webster Avenue, which will be extended to run between LaGuardia Airport and Fordham Plaza alongside the local Bx41 route, is proposed for later implementation.〔〔〔〔BRT- LaGuardia Airport access http://www.nyc.gov/html/brt/html/other/laguardia.shtml〕 A seventh corridor, and the third for Manhattan, the 125th Street–Triborough Bridge–Astoria Boulevard bus route to LaGuardia Airport, was converted to SBS on May 25, 2014; local service was replaced by other routes running alongside the route of the M60 (the ).〔MTA Capital Milestone Report (2010-2014) http://mta.info/capitaldashboard/pdf/Milestones_Report.pdf〕 An eighth Select Bus Service route was planned in the 2014–17 Financial Plan; this new SBS corridor is to be determined. The ninth Select Bus Service corridor, and the fourth in Manhattan, was for the running on 86th Street, which was originally scheduled to start running on June 28, 2015, but pushed back to July 13, 2015; it does not include a major change in stops.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=M86 Crosstown Line to Get Select Bus Service )〕 The tenth corridor, and the second for Brooklyn, is planned for the on Utica Avenue in the fall of 2015. When implemented, the local and Select Bus Service route of the B46 will change northern terminals to improve reliability.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Utica Avenue Select Bus Service )〕 The Eleventh Corridor, and the first for Queens, is planned for the limited bus route running on the Cross Bronx Expressway (Service Road) and Main Street, which is scheduled to begin on November 29, 2015. Select stops in the Bronx will be combined with busier stops for faster service and some stops in Queens will be replaced by the local route. As the Q20 route does not enter the Bronx and the Q44 runs local late nights only, the Q44 will have 24/7 SBS service between the Bronx Zoo and Jamaica. The Q20 will replace the Q44 local in Queens late nights.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Main Street Select Bus Service )〕 Select Bus Service along Woodhaven and Cross Bay Boulevards is currently being studied for the routes. All current SBS corridors are enforced by cameras restricting non-buses in these lanes on weekdays where the bus lane is curbside, with the bus lanes marked by red paint. Where the bus lane is an offset lane (that is, one lane away from the curb), non-bus traffic is restricted at all times except for emergencies.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Select Bus Service」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
