Posted by R30A on Wed Feb 24 15:37:19 2016, in response to Re: Summary and Video of November 2015 SBS meeting in Woodhaven, posted by BrooklynBus on Wed Feb 24 15:17:49 2016. "No one car trip taking 5 additional minutes is not the end of the world."Correct. (For future reference, 5 additional minutes is significant.) "But when it happens at dozens of locations to thousands of cars daily the cumulative effect is significant." Yes, but not relevant to Woodhaven SBS. "I certainly am valuing everybody's time equally." Obviously not. I see 20 percent of the people saving an insignifant time savings (an average of ten minutes off of a 75 or 90 minute trip) You see, the problem here is that you intentionally underestimate bus ridership. (For future reference: 10 minutes is insignificant) "or a 10 percent time savings vs an increased trip time of at least 15 minutes for 80 perecent of the population." You see, the problem here is that you intentionally overestimate vehicle riders. Another problem is that you create this absurd notion that there will be a 15 minute increase for them. They are roughly 2/3rds of Woodhaven's throughput and there is NO REASON to assume they will have ANY increase in trip time AT ALL. "Drivers are definitely getting screwed." Only in your head. "Their additional time is being ignored as is the effect on the economy and increased air pollution from additional congestion and fuel usage." It is being ignored because it does not exist. I tend to ignore things which do not exist. I suspect DOT does as well. Please explain further. 10 > 5. Therefore, Insignificant amounts of time are greater than significant amounts of time! |
