Based on what you stated, the S48/98 is a more productive route than the S40/90, as that the former has higher seat turnover than the latter. High seat turnover is something that the service planners and the accountants love. Don't be surprised that may wish to keep it that way.If the service planners are persuaded with your argument, however, the S98 would have the bare minimum of service, i.e. half-hourly service, on midday weekdays and Saturdays. The S48 would then have to have service reduced during the midday weekday and Saturdays from every 12 minutes to every 15 minutes, based on projected ridership, to maintain a guideline-level of service. Besides, 15-minute local service would coordinate well with the Staten Island Ferry. The service planners may not want to have S98 service Sundays, at least in the beginning, because I don't think that projected ridership and frequencies would be high enough, yet. As you know, there is precedent for six-day-a-week limited-stop service. The B6 limited and Bx1 limited are the only NYCT routes to have such a service pattern. |
