Posted by R30A on Wed Mar 16 11:39:50 2016, in response to Re: Summary and Video of November 2015 SBS meeting in Woodhaven, posted by BrooklynBus on Wed Mar 16 11:14:59 2016. ""And ridership dips on many parallel routes moreso than the B44. Hmm... might indicate issues that are disconnected from SBS."Just what I stated. The B41 has other issues, namely competition from dollar vans so you can't consider its decline. Stil doesn't discount the B44 decrease which was twice the B46 decrease." If the B41 has competition from dollar vans, the B44 does as well, as they have substantial market overlap. The B41 is MUCH closer to the B44 than the B46 for much of its run, as is the B49, which also shows a substantially greater loss in ridership. "So what would cause the B44 decline if not SBS?" Whatever is causing the other lines to drop too. I doubt that is SBS, as the B44 is the only SBS route in the area, so far. "I am not turning this into a political discussion so I won't comment." LOL. You were the one who tried to. "It is not my job to show my number is bigger than yours. It is the MTA's responsibility to show this change was a net benefit. So far we have nothing." Actually it is nobodies job. The MTA has no responsibility to show such. "I have no idea what you are talking about relating to personalities. You were the first one to talk about mental issues." You phrased a response in such a way that you were considering me as a subset of yourself. "No I never stated they are all walking from New York to Rogers. That was your allegation." I never said that. "My point was that the extra walk was enough of an incentive to just take a direct local rather than an indirect SBS to Rogers when their destination was Kings County or Downstate." For some. Not all. "I was showing how they were hurt by service for them being reduced by 50 perecent." Some were. Some likely weren't. "I never alluded that that was the only destination. I said it was a major destination which it is." Nobody is disagreeing with that. |
