In all my times taking the S78 out there, I don't think I've ever seen anybody from southern Tottenville transfer to the SIR. In any case, the S59 zooms along Hylan Blvd, so anybody from southern Tottenville who doesn't want to walk to the SIR can simply take the S59 to Eltingville.Access to points along Arthur Kill Road is the more pressing issue. They said approximately 200 riders were forced to transfer from the S74 to the S78. They didn't mention how many would benefit from better access to the SIR, but I promise it's less than 200. My intention is to make the Englewood branch the primary branch. I see much more potential ridership compared to the current Arthur Kill routing, both in terms of better accessing the residential areas, as well as offering a quicker routing to Bricktown & Tottenville. On top of that, if you consider that the S74 would be taking a quicker routing to get to Bricktown, and the fact that the Arthur Kill branch could bypass Rossville entirely, it might end up being cost-neutral compared to the current setup. The Arthur Kill branch would be the current short-turns. |
