I don't think the Bronx Local Bus Network Redesign went far enough so I mapped out the routes in the style of Queens Bus Network Redesign with local, limited, rush and SBS routes.
Routes that are 24/7: Bx3, Bx6, Bx9, Bx10, Bx11, Bx12, Bx15, Bx19, Bx21, Bx22, Bx24 (Btwn Westchester Sq and Pelham only), Bx27 (Btwn Morrison Av 6 train and Clason Pt only), Bx28, Bx29, Bx34 (Between Woodlawn and 205 St Station only), Bx35, Bx36, Bx40, Bx41, Q44, Q50 (Extended to Earhart La in Co-op City), M125
New routes:
Bx43 Local - Throgs Neck - West Farms via Tremont: Provides local service for Bx40/42 rush portion
Bx48 Local - Pelham Bay to Fordham Center via Gun Hill Road: Provides local service for Gun Hill Road for Bx28/38 rush portion (no 24/7 service, use Bx28, Bx12 and Q50 overnight)
Bx52 Limited - Riverdale to Co-op City via 233rd St (No 24/7 service)
Bx56 SBS - Bx6 SBS from original bus network redesign renumbered since it diverges from the main Bx6 route. Would run until ~11pm instead of 9pm like proposed.
Route changes:
Bx1 - Limited service runs all times except evenings.
Bx3 - overnight service added
Bx4 - Rerouted via current Bx4A routing in Parkchester and extended to Hutchinson Metro Center.
Bx4A - Eliminated, use Bx4
Bx7 - Becomes a Limited route, local service provided by Bx10 and M100
Bx8 - Becomes a Rush route, local service runs along Bronxwood Av and Williamsbridge Rd and south of Dean and Layton Avs in Throgs Neck, rush elsewhere. Local service provided by Bx31 in rush portion.
