Ok, as a Ex-Transport of Rockland driver, I can tell you that some of that late service is unnecessary. Hell I had a saturday run, where I BARELY carried 10 people the whole day and that is 4 round trips!Yeah that's true, but if those routes get service to at least 11PM, then why can't Bee-Line routes that have more ridership get that kind of service too? Its a suburban operation, not a city operation. The ONLY lines that could benefit from 24 hour service is the 2, 4, 20 and 42. And even that is a stretch... I've been on the last 2, the last 20 AND the last 42. Ridership on those trips are not worthy of 24 hour service. The 7 could also benefit from a 24/7 service as it connects two large cities, in addition to serving a major casino that I'm pretty sure has employees living in those cities. The 40 which connects Westchester's biggest hospital with Westchester's biggest city would also benefit from a hawk, and if you add the 20 between Yonkers and The Bronx, you have the 2 Bee-Line routes that I think need 24/7 service the most right now. The 2 and 4 should just get later service on Weekends, and the 42 is fine I wasn't referring to that route. The rest of the system works great. I agree, but there are still minor things about it that I think should be changed so it can be more convenient. |
