I actually like the idea of the S78 operating up Huguenot Ave.But, I would operate the S59, operating all times, via the current S78 routing in Tottenville to the Bricktown Mall. (I like the current S78 routing, as that residents from southern Tottenville now have access to the SIR, thereby reducing travel times and encouraging ridership.) In this scenario, the S74/84 would still terminate at the Bricktown Mall. This would be no different than what the Bx4/Bx4A does in Parkchester. However, I would have the Englewood Ave branch operate weekdays only, initially, in order to gauge ridership. The service planners would like this, as that the S74 weekend routing would remain unchanged. (They may not want weekend service, initially, as that it this would require the extension of the short trips.) I only see S74 service growing in this scenario, encouraging ridership that would fill currently empty seats. Do you think that Englewood Ave branch service would grow to the point where hawk service would be switched to this branch? Nowadays, I don't know how current residents, or the service planners, would react to the expansion of South Shore trunk-line local bus service. But it doesn't hurt to try. |
