Your 207 feet does not include having to now cross Avenue Z. The MTA measured it at 260 feet.Okay I left out a signal and it is true that it is the turns that add time, but considering all that, buses are only delayed a minute or two the most, worthwhile considering the added benefit which was why the turn was put in in the first place and the MTA has not had any problems or complaints with it in 38 years. Everyone getting off the B36 going westbound would have to cross the street twice. First at Avenue Z and again at Sheepshead Bay Road. One minute to walk and a possible one minute waiting for both traffic lights to change. I took videos yesterday of the buses turning during the evening rush hour and there is no traffic congestion there whatsoever. After traffic is rerouted to Avenue Z, there will be even more cars there and the buses will travel slower. It wil, not be faster if the bus went straight on Avenue Z because of the resulting increased traffic. It will also be slower for transferring passengers. You are wrong on both counts. |
