Posted by Gotham Bus Co. on Mon Mar 8 20:57:45 2010, in response to It's time for a Green Acres-Cypress Hill Rockaway Boulevard route, posted by Osmosis Jones on Mon Mar 8 18:40:10 2010. [...the route basically runs down Conduit Avenue, Rockaway Boulevard, and Fulton Street between the Crescent Street subway station in Cypress Hills, Brooklyn and Macy's at the Green Acres Mall in Valley Stream, Long Island.]How much actual demand is there for such a route? A rough estimate could come from analyzing transfer activity between the J/Q24/Q8/Q112/Q41 and the Q5/Q85. Then again, that corner of Queens now has easy access to Gateway Center Mall via the Q8. That extension could easily have shifted some demand away from Green Acres. [On another note I'm wondering if there's any demand for a route between the Far Rockaway subway station and Green Acres seeing that Green Acres is the closest major shopping mall to Far Rockaway.] A first step might be to examine transfer activity between the N1 and N31/32. |
