I am talking door to door. And who is to say buses shouldn't be able to use highways? Just because only express routes to Manhattan use highways, why can't we have express buses between major centers where people need to travel? Look how successful the Chinatown buses are. They are successful because they fill a need and are not overpriced. After the Belt Parkway bridges are rebuilt, we could have bus routes there that are a hybrid between local and express. And the buses could be allowed to use the shoulder as a bus lane where the road is wide enough. Elsewhere they could operate on the service roads.The problem is the MTA as no desire to improve bus service. Their goal is to operate as little bus service as is politically expedient and will find every reason possible to dismiss any ideas from the public. |
