I talked to someone on the inside about your proposals. He thinks that most are good except one, the S77. His concerns regarding this route were the same ones I had.Currently, all limited-stop and SBS routes are submissive to the corresponding local route. The S77 would, for the most part, be the converse. I think you have to emphasize that most planning and scheduling policies currently in place have been thrown away with Staten Island services. And, for the last study, done in the late 1980's, the service planners dared Staten Islanders to be different; they responded in kind. The results of this new study should be no different. With the S78 via Luten and Huguenot Aves, you should stress, in relation to the incidents after the S74/84 were diverted to operate into Rossville, that times have changed, and that South Shore residents are now demanding as much local mobility as the people who live in the North Shore. Otherwise, I think that your proposals, when you have a chance to submit them, would be well-received. Let's hope for the best. |
