Thank you for helping me understand your perspective better.

I might suggest that if the Staten Island express buses simply do what the BM and QMs do (ignoring the X27/28 for now) and just get people to the Downtown and Midtown CBDs, i.e. put people in a good place to snatch a quick subway ride, it may be better even for those who want Greenwich Village, etc.

Even if I lived in Staten Island, I might consider that an express bus picking me up, say, in Annadale, and taking me to either Downtown or Midtown CBD (both options available at any time) is the best I can ask for because then that route will have higher reliability (not subject to traffic in the "middle" of Manhattan) and in all cases put me in a great spot to catch the subway. Basically, Annadale would be just like Mill Basin or Gerritsen Beach or eastern Union Turnpike in terms of express service, except that service would be more frequent (assuming demand is higher) and the ride would be longer in minutes (which is a given due to Annadale's location).
