Posted by RailBus63 on Fri Apr 13 14:03:16 2012, in response to Re: 2011 MTA Bus & NYC Transit Bus ridership data, now available, posted by jasonbellamy on Thu Apr 12 15:38:43 2012. The ridership stats are available on the MBTA’s website with a little digging. Patronage did jump significantly.The lack of dedicated bus lanes is unfortunate and the overall execution may be flawed (enforcement of the bus-only lanes is woeful and I agree that those shelters are terribly designed) but the concept has merit – a tightly-operated Silver Line service could and should be an asset to the community even in its present iteration. Unfortunately, the MBTA has a history of poorly-operated bus service and the SL4 and SL5 are no exception. Advocates need to get over the fact that it isn’t a streetcar - the FTA was never going to pay for a Green Line extension after shelling out three-quarters of a billion dollars for the Southwest Corridor - and start demanding better operation of the service they do have by the T. |
