Tell me where service is being split. I see an S66 running from Graniteville to St. George via Watchogue Road and an S57 running from Port Richmond to New Dorp via Jewett Avenue. Where is this "split" you're talking about?You're not understanding what I'm saying. I'm talking about the general attitude of the people making the NSAA analysis. They were just throwing shit at the wall and seeing what stuck. I have no objection to a combined S44/S59 during the overnights (though I would prefer it just take Forest Avenue and alternate with the S48). So you live in Grasmere/South Beach now? You've been to community board meetings and spoken to bus riders? If so, you would know that the main problem isn't the few minutes that a limited-stop bus would save. It's the fact buses are often too crowded with North Shore riders to be able to stop in South Beach. And you'd also know that North Shore riders hate having to crawl their way through South Beach on their way to Brooklyn, and some have resorted to transferring to the S93 to bypass South Beach, even if it uses up their transfer for another line (e.g. S48). |
