Alright, so we've basically agreed on what should be done with the S52.With the S42, I still think it should maintain that route number, but it's not a big concern either way. As long as the physical route runs in the path I described, the route number is only of secondary importance. The argument could be that the expense of the additional S98 buses would be (at least partially offset) by increased ridership coming from Forest Avenue, compared to Richmond Terrace. Additionally, with the S40's ridership being so ferry-centric (as opposed to the S48/98, where you have many riders traveling within Staten Island), it could be argued that it prevents the S40 from being caught in delays on the Goethals Bridge, thus causing ferry riders to miss their connections. At least with the S98, if a bus gets delayed, you have the S48 for ferry riders to use. |
