Posted by AMoreira81 on Sat Feb 25 13:12:24 2012, in response to NICE : Proposed April 2012 Service Adjustments & Additions, posted by gold_12th on Wed Feb 22 10:03:17 2012. Not bad, but I would make further wholesale tweaks.To me, this looks like a slow trimming of the N78/79 service...what I want to know is: Why not consider combining the N79 with the N49 to Walt Whitman Mall? The only destination that would suffer would be the Jericho Quad. The N48 would still run rush hours only...and as for the N78, that could be interlined with select N24 trips instead of using a dedicated bus. The N48 would also be the sole bus serving Jericho Quad. One thing that I think could also save money---interlining at Roosevelt Field, or driver with bus reliefs at Roosevelt Field (where trips would require changing of buses with a bus pulling in from Roosevelt Field and a different bus taking over the same schedule). This could also be done for the N20 at Mineola Avenue...change of buses. Another change that should be considered down the line is combining the N25 and N58 so that it's easier to run the entire line out of Rockville Depot when the N25 is running. The later-evening service could have a bus doing the N57 for its first part and the N58 for its latter part. The aim of this is to save on deadhead mileage---it's much less to deadhead from Lynbrook to Rockville Centre than it is to deadhead from Great Neck to Garden City. |
