Posted by Osmosis Jones on Mon Mar 8 21:20:48 2010, in response to Re: It's time for a Green Acres-Cypress Hill Rockaway Boulevard route, posted by Gotham Bus Co. on Mon Mar 8 20:57:45 2010. 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.No, the most accurate way to measure potential ridership in this case would be to survey South Ozone Park (which the Green Acres service is dedicated for) residents. 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. Riders would still have access to the B13 and Q8. Anyways, you're not taking riders that will utilize the new bus transfers into account. A first step might be to examine transfer activity between the N1 and N31/32. N1 service is minimal south of Green Acres, but I agree, that would be the best place to start. |
