Posted by dkupf on Mon May 11 00:58:03 2015, in response to We Now Have Definitive Proof SBS is a Failure, posted by BrooklynBus on Wed May 6 00:17:28 2015. In my opinion, SBS was only a success in the Bronx. After all, the Bx12 Local/SBS now surpasses the M15 Local/SBS in ridership.But I think that it has been a failure elsewhere. I live in Manhattan, and know that, based on the numbers, the M15 SBS siphoned riders from the Lexington Ave/3 Ave and York Ave Corridors. In fact, the B44 maximum load point, before the Limited was converted to SBS, was Fulton St/Nostrand Ave in BOTH DIRECTIONS, because there was a good connection to the subway. The northbound SBS no longer stops here, but at Bedford Ave instead. The people are now forced to take the local during the weekday AM peak. Mike Nash and I said that this would happen, and it did. MTA, we told you so!!! |
