As stated in a previous post, the S52 runs the way it does in Arrochar are for coverage and to have appeased neighborhood residents at the time. If the ridership in this area no longer justifies this expense, as you claim, then it should be eliminated; good riddance to bad rubbish.Besides, travel times would decrease for SI Hospital North and South Beach Psychiatric Center riders. And, cycle times may not change at all, as that the S52 would be extended to Richmond Rd. I would still change the S42's route number, as that it would follow a different route path in St. George and New Brighton. Confusion among occasional and discretionary riders would be minimized. For the S98, the service planners will claim that current S48 service operates every 12-15 minutes on midday weekdays and Saturdays and every 15 minutes, at best, on Sundays. And, based on ridership at these times, though there would be riders who would benefit, there isn't enough of these riders in order to justify the expense of daily S98 service. You could counterclaim that Staten Island bus service doesn't follow the policies used in the other boroughs, but I don't think that's strong enough. After all, you have to convince the service planners. |
