The service planners would do double-branch service if and only if it would minimize or reduce operating costs, like the Bx4/Bx4A. The service planners didn't want to restore the Bx24 to Parkchester, instead, citing the need for a dispatcher at Hugh Grant Circle, increasing operating costs. But this is a moot point, as that the Bx24 was recently extended to the Hutchinson Metro Center.Bear in mind that when the S74's and S78's terminals were shifted to the Bricktown Mall, the location of the dispatcher, if there was one, was also shifted. In my scenario, the dispatcher, if there is one, would remain at the Bricktown Mall. In your scenario, a dispatcher would have to be added at Main St & Amboy Rd, which would actually increase operating costs, as that a dispatcher would have to remain, at least part-time, at the Bricktown Mall. Which scenario would win out? It all depends on what the service planners want. |
