Posted by R30A on Wed Feb 17 16:00:16 2016, in response to Re: Summary and Video of November 2015 SBS meeting in Woodhaven, posted by BrooklynBus on Wed Feb 17 15:44:52 2016. "That was an obvious typo."I know. That is why I treated it as such. "I meant to write 100,000 motorists." Where do you get this number? Seems possible but unlikely. "Over three times the numbers using buses," Again, your number is unsupported. That said, bus ridership is very likely to rise after the project is completed. "also traveling longer distances in the car than bus riders are traveling in the buses," Wholly unsupported. Nor particularly relevant "many of whom are riding the bus not for a short distance of a mile or two to access the subway." The car riders are riding the bus for NOT for a short distance of a mile or two??? huh? "Congestion will not be reduced since SBS (or a ten minute time savings) is not a big enough savings for someone one to switch modes." People don't have to switch modes for congestion to be reduced. That said, some people surely WILL switch. "And yes having to drive an extra mile to make a left turn or even an extra ten minutes in addition to other delays is significant" Perhaps it would be. But nobody will have to drive an extra mile. Stop repeating a lie. "as is cutting your average speed in half." Which would only be the case if you are speeding ridiculously today. "If congestion will be reduced as you suggest, why have the bus lanes caused somany to switch to Alderton northbound that residents have proposed making the road a one-way southbound? " Where is your numerical backing for this? "They are seeking alternatives because traffic has already become intolerable during the rush hours and you want to extend these delays to all day long and to weekends when bus riders will not even benefit from those lanes." Traffic was intolerable before. |
