Hmmm, and what do the S66 & S67 have in common? Oh, right, they both traveled from Port Richmond to St. George via Victory Blvd. With everybody north of Forest having much quicker, more direct, and more frequent options for reaching the ferry.Do you know why there's so many routes ending in Port Richmond? There used to be a ferry terminal in that area that was closed over 50 years ago. Do you know why there's no local route running along Goethals Road North/Lamberts Lane? Because that area was farmland until the late 1960s. So in other words, you're advocating for planners to operate based on ridership patterns of 50 years ago. Tell me your plan to provide the Bulls Head/Graniteville neighborhood with better service. Go on, I'm all ears. As far as the S83, I guess there's nothing more to say. But I think we can at least agree that the service is needed outside of rush hour, and there's potential ridership to be gained from a limited-stop service bypassing Grasmere/South Beach. |
