For the date of the S66 weekend elimination, thanks for the correction.However, based on the monetary figures (approx. $100,000 (1990) per weekend day), the S66, along Jewett Ave, was probably only getting 2-3 passengers per trip. Honestly, I don't think, especially with rise in ridership associated with the implementation of Metrocard, would make that significant enough of a dent to have any form of weekend service restored. Regarding an S62 extension to West Shore Plaza, WSP is a trip generator, the Travis is not. 'Nuff said. For the S57 to serve Oakwood Beach instead of the S76, having the S57 serve the neighborhood would be a faster trip for riders, especially for those going to/from the Staten Island Railway and cross-island. Based on the current SIR schedules, the riders could leave their homes in Oakwood Beach 10 minutes later, and still catch the same train to St. George. Though, they would board the train at Oakwood Heights instead of New Dorp. This would make bus service that much more convenient and efficient. As part of the TSM Alternative for the North Shore Alternatives Analysis, S83 limited-stop service is only feasible to operate to Brooklyn during the Weekday AM Peak and to Staten Island during the Weekday PM Peak. Based on the current S53 schedule, this claim is believable. |
