I like your idea of operating X-designation shuttles in order to gauge ridership. However, should OP use this suggestion I would be very surprised.Their criteria for the X-designation are 1) charge the express fare AND 2) operate interborough for each and every trip. Plus, OP may claim that not only would it need hard documentation BEFORE implementing additional service, it was told by Prendergast that additional service can't be implemented without offsetting decreases in other services. Unofficially, OP is afraid to use local designations after what occurred after the S74 was shifted to operate into Rossville. Bus stop signs for the S74 were being torn down overnight. When the DOT would restore the signs, the signs would be torn down again. But it stopped after a while. Unfortunately, there were no arrests. The South Shore wants express service like holes in their heads. But implement local service at your own peril. But, I say to hell with the criteria. The X-designation would alleviate fears of additional local service, and OP could always discontinue the service if it doesn't meet expectations. |
