Buses do not run frequently when they run every hour after midnight. Of course buses cannot be timed to make all connections, but they could be scheduled to make a major connection point or example the B46 at Eastern Parkway southbound. They could operate to meet every or every other subway train.Buses being stationary 50% of the time, when that is true, as well as indirect routing is what akes sone bus trips take three or four times what an automobile trip woud take. I would say that a goal would be for bus trips oake no longer than twice what the trip would take by car. |
