"Local buses stop every avenue block."That just isn't true. At all. "Express buses and SBS buses will not be able to enter the general traffic lanes to pass stopped buses when those lanes are backed up and standing still because no car will let them enter. Buses have problems currently leaving bus stops to enter traffic on heavily used roadways. They have to wait sometimes up to a minute for traffic to pass. In that tine most likely the stopped bus ahead will already be moving." If there is traffic, they will not. But considering the below point, that is not too big of a deal. "Where did you get that only five local stops will be potentially blocking the bus lane? What I heard was that there only will be about five bus stops that will not be blocking the bus lane if service roads are built throughout." By taking the plan and looking at each stop. Adding one to my count if it fills two criteria: A. it is local only. B. if a bus stopped there would block the bus lane. The total I came up with is 5. (It is also possible that I missed a stop if it blocked the bus lane SB only, or counted a stop that does such NB but not SB. I was counting NB stops.) I'd list off the stops but I am not at home where I have the printout of the plan and can do such. I'll do so tomorrow when I am. |
