Posted by RailBus63 on Sun May 27 10:22:52 2012, in response to Re: NICE Bus Kicks Off Its Summer Service to Jones Beach N88, 30 min headways, posted by mac5689 on Sat May 26 23:32:02 2012. Passengers being stuck in traffic is not NICE's problem - all they can do is have enough operators and buses available to maintain the promised 30-minute headway.Not the same scale as yesterday, but Centro in Syracuse sometimes faces similar issues with its park & ride shuttles to the New York State Fair. A popular concert combined with good weather will often bring over 100,000 patrons to the fairgrounds on a single day and overwhelm the approaches on I-690 and NYS 695. Centro promises a 20-minute headway on its most popular P&R routes and will dispatch extra buses as needed to maintain the headways and to provide the necessary capacity. Sure, people hate getting stuck on a bus in traffic but will usually understand that they would be no better off if they drove (and would have farther to walk once they arrive). |
