Posted by Mr RT on Wed Jul 6 10:51:20 2011, in response to What is wrong with Select Bus Service, posted by BrooklynBus on Tue Jul 5 12:41:06 2011. The writer, Allen Rosen, says he's not against SBS, but after reading his comments, the opposite is true.He's a typical "planner" who is more concerned about auto traffic then making a fundamental change to enhance public service. "... SBS service (plan) mistakenly throttle automobile traffic ..." "... SBS plans should not require taking away a lane of moving traffic ..." If the goal is to improve the speed of the service, a different colored bus isn't going to be enough, you need dedicated lanes & enforcement to keep cars & trucks out of them. He also blames Robert Moses for Brooklyn's traffic problem, please how long has that man been dead ? Personally I have a problem with SBS/BRT service in NYC, because true BRT service has more then fare payment machines in the street. It also has exclusive ROWs, high platforms, terminals, traffic siginals that see the BRT bus & hold the light for it, etc. SBS in NYC is just a glorified Express/Limited bus. |
