All major successes.B44: -4.7% M15: -8.7% M34: -10.7% M60: -3.1% S79: +7.1% Bx12: +2.2% Bx41: +21.6% The Bx41 is year-to-year comparison for the same numbered routes. However, this is not a fair comparison because bus service along this route north of Fordham Plaza used to be duplicated by the Bx55. The Bx55 was discontinued, when Bx41 SBS service was started. This forced all riders along this stretch to use a Bx41 bus. The number of riders on the discontinued Bx55 exceeded the gain in Bx54 riders by nearly 50%. There were other sections to the Bx55 that did not duplicate the Bx41. Therefore, a direct comparison is not possible. |
