They already have a smart light at the CSI entrance, which adjusts the light cycles based on the traffic flows. While it certainly does help, there's only so much you can do. In the AM rush, you have a ton of cars heading eastbound to the SIE, while there's a ton of cars headed westbound turning into CSI.I'm telling you this as somebody who would benefit from rerouting the S57 to CSI: It's not needed. My little brother went to Susan Wagner HS, and the S57 would've been a direct ride. But how much good does it do if he's standing at the stop for 10 minutes watching the S57 wait to turn into the CSI loop (while an S92 or S93 passes by in the meantime, headed towards Jewett where he would also have the option of the S61)? And remember that you're screwing over everybody in Westerleigh and Port Richmond who isn't heading to CSI. Even with no traffic, they still have to sit through a 10 minute detour. And I'm referring to the eastbound stop for the S62/92/93. The S57 already has stops in both directions. The problem is that the MTA officials will lie to your face and tell you they'll look into it, and then ignore your follow-up calls. For the X10/12, point taken. |
