I understand what you are saying about progressive lights but there are a number of problems with your proposal. You talk about the need to be cost neutral but your proposal would add a great deal of cost.The first problem is adding a third layer of service. First you have to explain if the Limiteds would use the local or SBS route. You would have to cut SBS service in half to keep costs the same. I don't know how scheduling three levels of service works out. The MTA has proved they can't even reliably operate the existing B36, so why would and extended B36 be anymore relable? The biggest problem is terminating the B44 local at Flatbush/Nostrand. That would mean anyone south of Avenue Z not going to an SBS/Limited stop would need an extra transfer to get off at a local stop and an extra fare to transfer to the B2 or B54 if the Limited is not returned. Also they would have to walk further to SBS stops. (No stops at Avenues Y, Z, Voorhies and only three stops on Emmos Avenue. If you run the Limited, where would it start? |
