And the S40 does as well. (And the S51 had 20 minute headways middays, then it went down to 15 minutes, and back up to 20 minutes). For the S40, it looks like it helps with the cycle time (It has about 35 minutes of runtime, so with a 5 minute layover, it has a cycle time of 40 minutes, which means you need 4 buses to maintain that 20 minute headway. If it ran every 15 minutes, you'd probably have to have 10 minutes of layover (45 minute cycle time), which means it would take 6 buses to maintain that headway.I guess as a cost-saving measure, the MTA could try interlining it with another route at St. George (maybe the S51, and give both routes 15 minute headways). |
