The reason the S66 weekend service was eliminated in 1992 was extremely low ridership. In fact, the net annual cost at the time, i.e., factoring in ridership AND revenue, was around $100,000 per year per weekend day!

So, do you think that weekend service would be restored via Jewett Avenue in the future?

Don't you believe it.

I think that there are good ideas out there that could be implemented in the long term.

But what about those that would be easy to implement in the short term?

-- Extend S62 to West Shore Plaza,
-- Divert the S54 via the Staten Island Mall,
-- Operate the S57 south of Tysens Lane instead of the S76,
-- Operate the S44 overnight and extend it at these times to Hylan Blvd/Richmond Aves, and
-- Possible Saturday operation of the S93 (This wouldn't work unless S53 and S62 service would be reduced when the S93 operates).

What do you think?
