Merged lines have their benefits too. . .1) Less deadheading (deadhead time) (even if a depot is mid-route or if one part of the line requires higher frequencies, you can just have short-turning) 2) Less need for three-legged transfers by passengers (i.e. J train riders would need to go to Flushing rather than Jamaica for their buses to certain parts of College Point without the Q25/34/65 as they are), 3) At night when traffic is not so much a factor, longer routes are much more optimal. Less layovers means the buses and drivers are in service more (Yes, a Night Bus system would be the best, but NYC is far away from that idea). |
