Posted by 3-9 on Mon Apr 27 06:45:40 2015 This was posted on the wrong board, figured you guys might be more interested in dissecting this. Edited the links to clickable.Posted by checkmatechamp13 on Sun Apr 26 05:58:14 2015 I'm surprised nobody posted this up yet: (NYCT weekday) (NYCT weekend) (MTA Bus weekday) (MTA bus weekend) As always, take these with a grain of salt, but here are some general observations: * Wow, the S93 has around 3,000 riders on a typical weekday (remember that for 2/3rds of the year, it didn't have midday/evening service). That midday service was definitely a big hit. Now only if they would just add that stop outside of CSI so that more people could take advantage of it. * Unsurprisingly, it seems that the S93 took some riders from both the S62 & S53. (A lot of people living around Targee Street now take the S93 to/from Brooklyn, because it's a lot faster than the S53. Not to mention it's a little bit closer for those on the north side of the SIE. * S89 ridership loss is either due to the construction on the Bayonne Bridge (buses have to detour from Walker Street back down to Forest Avenue to get on the MLK), or to riders shifting to the S44/59. I still maintain that there should be more frequent reverse-peak service, terminating at the SI Mall. * Looks like riders are switching from the S78 to the S79. * With the S55, it seems like the portion west of Tottenville High School is actually the busier portion of the route (of course, busier being relative). I notice a lot of students hop on the SIR now and take that down to Eltingville to catch the S59/79, rather than taking the S55/56 directly. Not sure what numbers were doing that before the S79 got limited-stop service. * Wonder what's up with the big increases in M35 ridership? * All of those new little shuttles serving "growing areas" get less ridership than the old B71, which definitely served a "growing area". * Wow, both B2 & B100 ridership increased. * Ridership in the Brewer corridor decreased, even with the expanded limited-stop service. * Nice to see ridership increasing on the Q103 (though still, ridership is comparable to the old B71. Just sayin'....) * The 3rd/Webster corridor seems to be increasing in ridership nicely since the addition of the Bx41 +SBS+ (and Bx15/55 terminal swap). * I notice Bx16 weekend ridership is much higher compared to Bx34 weekend ridership (whereas before the Bx34 had the weekend service cut, ridership was about equal). I wonder if it's a glitch, or if ridership in that corridor really did increase. * S79 weekend ridership is missing. Logically, I think it took some ridership from the S78 (for a second, I thought it was the S76 that was taking back some riders in the Park Hill area) * Q76/77 weekend ridership seems to be pretty good. * In general, Bronx & Staten Island ridership seems to be up, while Manhattan ridership seems to be decreasing. Probably a good portion has to do with BusTime: If people decide to walk or take the subway, rather than waiting for a bus that they know is running late, that's not necessarily a bad thing, though. |
