Where is it obvious that the MTA agrees that if service is inadequate, dwell times become excessive which contributes to bunching? Show me the reference.When I stated inadequate running times, I was including inadequate recovery times. Another issue is wheelchairs. With high floor buses one wheelchair getting on delays the bus five minutes and another five minutes for the passenger to get off. If the following bus doesn't have a wheelchair, the driver already caught up to his leader with ten minute headways and it snowballs from there. No one wants to mention wheelchairs as contributing to bus bunching. I am sure that recovery times do not include time for a second wheelchair and may not even allow for one wheelchair. So one wheelchair and some traffic to boot and recovery time is insufficient so then the drivers through te schedule out the window and stay at the terminal anyway longer than they are allowed and will leave it already bunched with no dispatcher around. |
