So if the B44 SBS. ridership improves during the second year of operation, I can safely say it has nothing to do with SBS? What if enforcement efforts improved for keeping the bus lanes clear and there was more Eagle Team enforcement during the second year and ridership rose, I can safely say those increases have nothing to do with SBS. Thanks I will remember that because what matters regarding SBS is what is happening during the first year only.The B44 is performing worse. Ridership declined in 2014 by 4.4%. The B46 declined by 2.5% and the B43 declined by only 1.3%. Only the B44 had a similar decline by 4.5%. The B41 faces stiff competition from van services which the B44 does not, which accounts for the B41's poor showing. So to say SBS routes performed no worse than parallel routes which you are saying, isn't even true. Also using the borough average makes much more sense than handpicking a few routes. Even if they performed similar to other routes doesn't say much about success. THEY SHOULD FAR OUTPERFORM NON SBS ROUTES, since they cost millions more annually to operate, not to mention the ongoing costs. |
