Posted by checkmatechamp13 on Fri Aug 22 17:20:43 2014, in response to Re: S.I. officials, community members call on MTA to restore S54 Weekend bus service, posted by Hank Eisenstein on Fri Aug 22 10:21:35 2014. According to my calculations, it would only require 3 buses to run from Seaview to St. George. (Roughly 35-40 minutes of travel time each way, plus the layovers). The old S54 required 4 buses to operate on weekends. (And remember that you're also covering part of the old S42, which required 2 buses, though one of them was required to reroute the S52 through St. Marks Place)Now, covering Giffords Lane with the S79A is going to result in more buses being required. If you generously estimate a 3 hour cycle time, it would take 6 buses to provide 30 minute service (though you could almost certainly get rid of one bus by interlining with the regular S79, assuming you don't care about the SBS wraps). But on the bright side, you're providing additional capacity along Hylan, and between Brooklyn & SI. (In a worse-case scenario, you could always reduce the S79 from 10 minute headways to 12, since the S79A is taking a good chunk of S79 riders). |
