Eh, unless there's a senior boarding or something, that doesn't really bother me when buses don't pull to the curb. If I'm physically capable, there's no point in slowing down service for everybody else.And my plan would make the S55, S56, S79, and S89 marginally shorter, and make the S44/S94 and S59 marginally longer (the S61/S91 and X17/X31 would remain unchanged). It might increase costs slightly, but it gives everybody the maximum number of options, instead of having the services split up between the different streets (so if somebody's going up Richmond Avenue, they have the S44, S59, & S89 right there, instead of having the S44 & S59 on one side of the SI Mall and the S89 on the other side). Aside from that, there is a residential area on that side of the SI Mall, and they'd have easier access to the S44 & S59, which currently stop on the non-residential side of the mall (Which I can practically guarantee you would increase ridership and revenue) Of course, you're probably convinced, but obviously it's the MTA I have to convince. On a side note, they said that the implementation of the S79 +SBS+ (which is is really a glorified limited because it lacks a POP system, but I don't think it's needed anyway) would cost $300,000 extra because they'd have to add service on the parallel local lines. They didn't mention anything about additional riders covering those costs, but maybe somehow if I could relate it to the +SBS+ plan, it might pass. |
