I agree with the X17J being split in the manner you described.The X20 is unnecessary. Especially with the X17J being restructured, you don't want to sabotage the ridership on the southern part by having all the Huguenot Avenue people take the X20. And then on top of that, the X24 already competes for riders along Arden Avenue. I will say that Huguenot Avenue does need a local bus route, and I would do that by simply having the S59 go to Tottenville full-time, and sending the S78 to Arden & Arthur Kill. (Turnaround would be to make a left on Arden, left on the WSE service road, and then a left onto Arthur Kill Road to come back around on Huguenot Avenue). The S78 would go down Luten Avenue to serve Tottenville High School. To cover the portion between Bricktown & Tottenville, I would have the S74 travel via Woodrow-Bloomingdale-Englewood-Veterans Road West-Arthur Kill Road, and then turnaround at the old terminal. Service along the part of Arthur Kill west of Bloomingdale is literally just going through the woods, aside from the portion by the Tides development (which has very expensive townhouses and mandates that the residents have a car. I know somebody who lives there). |
