Posted by R30A on Thu Jun 23 15:03:26 2016, in response to Re: MTA's Poor Priorities, posted by BrooklynBus on Thu Jun 23 14:20:48 2016. "I just checked the schedules. The B and the 2 have identical travel times to 34 Street, 40 minutes. (B from Sheepshead Bay vs 2 from Flatbush Avenue) However, my proposed route would be four minutes quicker from Riis Park than the Q35: 12 minutes as compared to 16 minutes without traffic on the Belt."A. The B runs less frequently than the 2. B. Your hypothetical bus would certainly run less frequently than the Q35, so the wait times would make for a longer trip. And the bus travel time difference is only 2 minutes according to google maps. "So under the worst scenario, trip times would be equal, but it would give Rockaway residents another option to the Q35." And split the market, likely making for longer wait times overall. "Anyone who would have to change from the 2 to the B or the Q in Manhattan would definitely save time as would anyone driving because they could take either bus at Riis Park instead of having to wait for just the Q 35." Except they can make a very simple transfer at Atlantic avenue. Problem solved. "Breezy Point residents would save the most time because their only option now is to drive unless they drive to Belle Harbor and park on the street for the Q35." Which in reality will always be the only choice, as a park and ride at Riis Park is absolutely unworkable. "I stopped reading your incomprehensible run on sentence after your misstatement about Rockaway not having a high car ownership. But I forgot, you can allege anything you want because no proof is required when you make a statement."  Rockaways have below the average car ownership rate of Queens. There's the proof for you! |
