THE COMMUTE: We know this because 2014 ridership figures are now available. The two metrics the MTA have been using to tout SBS as a success are that ridership has increased and bus trip times have been reduced by 20 percent. However, there have been no statistics whatsoever for the most important metrics: how much time passengers are saving, and how much time other road users are losing. Instead, the MTA and its proponents have been relying on the fact that bus ridership on SBS routes has been increasing during the first year of operation, using the logic that ridership increased because travel times were reduced.

However, in most cases, that is no longer true. Bus ridership figures for 2014 indicate that ridership is declining on many SBS routes at a rate greater than the borough average...
Ok, just stop. Stopping shitting us already. There's NO WAY you were ever a bus planner. No intelligent bus planner worth their weight in statistical analysis and reasoning/logic skillz would ever make asinine assumptions, statements, and conclusions like you do and just did here again. You may be fooling the fine folks of Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, NY, USA, but you're not fooling many of the people here, as well as many of the great minds at the MTA.
