Posted by checkmatechamp13 on Thu Jun 7 12:05:36 2012, in response to Re: SI Division, posted by (SIR) North Shore line on Thu Jun 7 10:14:10 2012. Those Teleport runs aren't short-turns. The difference in distance between St. George-West Shore Plaza and St. George-Teleport is negligable. In any case, unfortunately, the S44 doesn't warrant any additional service as far as ridership goes, but in the later part of midday, they should allow an extra cushion. I mean, around 1PM, they allow a 7 minute cushion, which generally works from experience, but around 3PM, they only allow a 1 minute cushion, which likely results in a lot of missed connections.I think they really need to reevaluate the scheduling too. From experience, those buses that leave the SI Mall around 5PM or 5:30 generally don't run into as many problems as those leaving around 3PM or so, and yet they allot more running time to the runs at 5PM. I remember on a recent trip, the B/O had to kill a good 10 minutes at least because he was alloted too much time, and yet earlier in the day, people are likely missing their ferries because of too little time. As for the second comment, I doubt that. You might attract more riders who would pay, but the riders who currently farebeat would likely continue to do so. And there's no point in sending the S76 to Charleston. |
