Obviously false in your mind. You are the one who is making obviously false statements not me.A proposal for the peak hour requires peak hour data. A proposal for the peak three hours requires three hour peak data. A 24 hour 7 days per week proposal requires 24 hour 7 days a week data and if there are seasonal fluctuations additional data is also needed. To say that a 24 hour 7 day a week proposal only requires data for one peak hour a day IS TOTALLY FALSE. That much is plainly obvious. What you say about not having to analyze parallel routes but "just looking at it" makes no sense. So you are now saying that SBS increased the average trip length now? That may make sense if ridership went up. BUT IT WENT DOWN. So you must np e saying that SBS discouraged short distance trips. If so, where did they go? Certainly not to parallel routes. So they must have gone to car services. That certainly doesn't signify success. And talking about bus travel time savings you are only considering the times on the buses. You are ignoring extra walking distances and the greater possibility of missing a bus and waiting for the next one. SO YOUR TEN PERCENT REDUCTION is skewed and doesn't tell the entire story such as those with longer trips by passengers previously using the Limited and now switching to the local since the introduction of SBS. Anyone traveling to Kings County and Downstate Medical Center, two heavy traffic generators were just some of the populations who were hurt. They obviously did no calculations when they eliminated Avenue L and residents had to fight for a year to get it back. And when the closest SBS stop is a half mile away, SBS is not accessible. The counts certainly do exist. They are right here: http://www.sheepsheadbites.com/2014/05/mta-incompetently-operating-b44-b36-part-2-2/ |
