The S77 is a non-starter, as that it duplicates the S78 in Staten Island. Besides, local ridership within the Hylan Blvd corridor isn't high enough to allow for two local services AND limited-stop service. (S59 Tottenville service, on the southern side of Hylan Blvd, was implemented in the late 1980's to appease the south shore communities when the S79 was diverted to the SI Mall. S59 Tottenville service was eliminated outside of the weekday peak in the early 1990's due to low ridership.)I also want to make LaTourette less of a barrier between the north and south shores. This is why the S54 to absorb the S42, via the routing I stated in New Brighton, and have the S54 operate via the SI Mall is a slightly better alternative. So, how would your S66 operate? (Remember that the S57 routing north of Victory Blvd and Grymes Hill service, regardless of route, must be maintained. And, your S66 should minimize duplication with other local services as much as possible.) |
