Getting rid of the 3/4 mile route would be cost prohibitive, as that would mean serving all parts of the county 7 days a week."Feeder paratransit" (taking the rider to a fixed route stop) exists out in Suffolk? It works really well in NYC, but once headways are hourly or worse, it isn't the smartest thing to do. Paratransit efficiency is very hard to obtain, but there are some ways of doing it, namely converting low ridership routes (S90, 10-series, etc) to 3/4 mile deviated fixed route. |
