Having been a user of the B44 SBS, I don't see the problems you are mentioning, but I mainly ride the north portion of the route. Regardless of its shortcomings, it is substantially better than the previous service. Do I have gripes with it? Yes. But that doesn't mean it isn't better than what we had before, and that we shouldn't expand the serviceAs for your comments on Woodhaven boulevard, there's lots of practical data on the benefits of exclusive use bus lanes, and how loss of lanes for private motoring can improve traffic flow. The point of exclusive use bus lanes is to make the bus more attractive, thereby reducing reliance on private motoring. I also think it's nuts that we dedicate the majority of public space throughout the city not to pedestrians, not to mass transit, not to green spaces, but to asphalt to accommodate private vehicles that are mostly carrying one person. |
