Posted by Q46 LTD Glen Oaks on Thu Jul 10 01:29:52 2008, in response to Re: Staten Islanders unsatisfied with MTA bus service, posted by (SIR) North Shore Line on Thu Jul 10 01:03:54 2008. QM1A, it doesn't happen all the time because of the headways but i have seen it occur.Most of the Queens routes have ridership to match the SI routes, it just we have better service than you do so it's more evenly distributed. There are times when you see more QM1/1A's than Q46 buses. Run the QM1A every 2 hours (like someone suggested) and people would be riding on the roof and sitting on top of each other. What needs to improve in Queens is the info at bus stops, because it's nonexistent. You just get to the stop and pray you didn't miss the bus. I do feel bad for SI riders, but the problem with their express buses can't be fixed until MTA gets more buses and a place to put said buses. And making someone pay $20 to ride an express bus is as irrational as getting rid of the buses. All it would is force people on to the trains which in the case of the (E) aint going to happen cuz it's over capacity. And before anyone says people could take the (V), don't. Cause for most people it would require them to take it, switch to the (E) or (F) at 71st and then get on another bus. |
