Posted by R30A on Fri Jan 22 00:30:46 2016, in response to Re: Summary and Video of November 2015 SBS meeting in Woodhaven, posted by Spider-Pig on Thu Jan 21 23:23:08 2016. In general:1. Faster loading/unloading due to off board fare collection. Faster loading/unloading makes for fewer traffic jams at bus stops. 2. Bus lanes obviously reduce traffic for the buses, but considering that right turns will now be in the service road instead, they won't be blocking the bus lane when turning. Peak hour buses are running at 1.5 minute headways. I think such is more than dense enough to justify bus lanes. 3. Islands will certainly make the streets safer for pedestrians. 4. Traffic Signal preemption makes for faster service on the through buses. 5. Dedicated bus lanes make for ideal emergency response vehicle routes. In addition to all of that, one need not support the project to speak out against the many falsehoods being put out by the OP. While I do support SBS here and elsewhere, I would make the same posts if I did not. BrooklynBus has been making repeated fallacious statements on this topic (and of course others), and such needs to be called out when it happens. |
