Posted by R30A on Thu May 26 21:08:26 2016, in response to Re: Queens Public Transit Committee Rally, posted by BrooklynBus on Mon May 23 21:37:00 2016. "Now the numbers are in and DOT states that in the AM peak northbound, average car speeds declined from 19.5 mph to guess what? 12 mph. Also the 35 percent decrease in bus travel times never materialized. During the same time period, BUSES ARE ALSO TRAVELING SLOWER than they were before the bus lanes. It's all on slide 45 of their presentation."That is WITHOUT the street re-engineering. Idiots lead by yourself are fighting the left turn eliminations, which are what would reduce the congestion on Woodhaven. Don't complain as this is YOUR FAULT. Furthermore, Buses are moving faster at other times, as is traffic overall. So outside of the Northbound AM rush, it isn't causing the havoc you claimed (And for that matter, the NB AM Rush isn't that bad either...) "I also predicted the B44 SBS would be a failure. During the first year paid ridership on the route declined by twice the borough average. So much so that no first year report was ever issued. There still has not yet been a second year report either. Many were arguing with me how successful the route would be. It never happened. " They only issued reports for the first few SBS lines. Most bus route changes/introductions don't get any "first year reports" The B44 reductions were roughly in line with those of the lines parallel to it. |
