There are other routes than the B46, but you won't use it because it doesn't show what you want it to show but using it is better than the B43 which does not cover the lower portion of Brooklyn or the B49 which doesn't cover the upper portion. Still rather than picking and choosing parallel routes, it makes better sense to compare SBS routes with the borough wide average which I previously did. But you chose selected parallel route for your analysis in order to get the numbers you wanted. That is not how you should plan.The only SBS bus routes where ridership went up were in the Bronx. That is not one out of five boroughs. Peak hour represents what is happening in the peak hour and nothing else. It means traffic is lighter in other hours, not that the percentage of bus riders to other users remains the same during other hours. And where can Avenue R riders board the SBS? Either at Kings Highway or Avenue U. Both stops are about 9 minutes away walking briskly. Twelve or 15 minutes for those with walking difficulties. That is greater than their time savings with SBS unless they are traveling all the way to Williamsburg Plaza in which case they may still save a minute or 2 but would probably still choose the local so as not to have to walk that much. And walking from Rogers to New York Avenue takes six minutes, also about equal to their SBS time savings so these people probably would still choose the local. Bus operators are instructed not to wait fir passengers getting receipts. If he waits he is violating procedure and get in trouble. Yes people who are not able bodied and cannot walk long distances do still have the local. Many also previously ripoff the faster Limited and now have slower trips. I am certainly able to count having done it many times professionally. You are the only me being dishonest here by cherry picking your data to prove your preconceived thoughts even if it defies all logic. |
