Posted by Q46 LTD Glen Oaks on Tue Jan 29 01:47:50 2013, in response to Re: MTA REQUEST FOR PUBLIC HEARING: BX15, BX55 SERVICE REVISIONS, posted by AMoreira81 on Mon Jan 28 21:16:41 2013. I'd have to disagree with most of this.The Bx9 has a few short turns in both directions, run it out of WF and you lose the usefulness of all of the short terminals sans Fordham Plaza/Crotona which really isn't a good place to short turn buses and you'd have 9's deadheading via fordham/southern instead of 15's [so that defeats the reason you gave for the swap]. All of those runs can't go to 262 because it'll have too much service up there, 242 can't turn buses with ease N/B and it wouldn't make sense to have them turn s/b and you don't need buses clogging b'way in a conga line anymore than it already is. At 225 buses either have to go to a depot or go to Riverdale which as I already stated won't work. You can't turn buses without looping around Marble Hill projects [which is impractical because you'd have to move stops for full access to River Plaza and the train in both directions]. You wouldn't be able to switch operators there and now there's a long deadhead back to WF, unless all the runs are starting and ending at WF SQ which would screw up reliability on the north end. As it stands, and someone can correct if I'm wrong, I don't believe there are that many runs deadheading from KB to WF SQ. I'm not understanding why you think the mid-route cut in/out needs to go. I agree that KB would have to get some of the 15 runs because that's too much for WF to handle [basically the 55 runs] but extending it up Fordham is asking for trouble. Besides the traffic issue, once again where is it turning at? the 22/34 stop is full, you could end it by the 28 but thats not Fordham Center and requires looping up to Kingsbridge, and you can't end it on the Concourse. KB can easily deadhead whatever 15 runs they get the same way they currently do the 41/55 without extending it. Also isn't MCH supposed to open this year? I haven't been by there in a while but they might want to just hold off and do another swap of Bx routes just to even things out. |
