Posted by GOLD_12th on Thu Oct 9 00:15:16 2008, in response to Re: Suffolk Transit Bus Study Workshop, posted by Mac5689 on Wed Oct 8 21:30:09 2008. its still lower then having to spend 2.00 one way for a week, a month, a year.Well define cheaper fare. Example: MetroCard $2.00 local one way, with Unlimited ride passes: 7 days: $25.00, 30 days $81.00, 30 day pass x 12 = $972.00 Sufflok Transit: $1.50 one way, 6 days (2 way): $18.00, about 26 days (2 way): $78.00, 313 days (2 way): $939.00 Drawbacks: Unlimited rides: Nothing Sunday service: None, except s47 during special session. can't run 24/7 cuz u have no idea what the ridership is like during the night, and besides the only places that would be open are 24/7 stores and there aren't many like that around. 24/7 service is really based on connecting service to LIRR, some LIRR trains run late night every day and its open everyday and everytime when it is on schedule. There is potential ridership for connecting service in late night hours. and u can't define a whole system from the S92, the last time i was in riverhead the S92 was only late out of Greenport, and the time before that the buses were on time. I pointed out one example the S92, there are many examples like this route. Like s60 constant lateness about 20-30 minutes during the day. But even the entire system they are routes need to keep on schedule. ST needs to modify or update their schedule on the routes. cheaper ride would mean the county would get less back from that fare and if that keeps up the hole system would prob end up crashing. No. Cheaper discounts ride will bring in ridership, revenue for ST, if they have better headways. The drawback is the county and state government will have to subsidize. ST is already subsidize by the government. $1.00 ride one way is benefit enough for college students. Well there is an age limit (14-22) and u are an idiot cuz even if they do fix the time tables u'll still get buses stuck in traffic!. the S61 runs every :30 min's but NYS 112 is only two lanes that it gets backed up for miles. No, maybe you reading too fast or you need a dictionary. I said previously, "Well it sounds like Suffolk Transit did not update their timetables in ages so with increasing traffic, they should alter or adjust the schedule right now." ST last schedule update May 2006 on it's website. ST really needs to update the schedule. They need to ADJUST the times when there is a traffic or congestion everyday. Or, they need a BRAND new schedule system. Yet you relied on ST for your destination @ its schedule. Maybe its time to stop relying on ST because they don't come on time. |
