I believe in having schedules fitting demand. So if in fact the bulk of ridership is east if B116 Street, it may make sense to short turn more Q22s at B116 Street provided street space is available for buses to layover. It may also make sense to move Q35s to Rockaway Beach Boulevard for a combined headway so those additional short turns can be made depending on travel patterns, if maximum walking distances remain near the guidelines. However when you factor in the elimination of bus stops that increases the walking distance for some to twice the guidelines, then the plan is unacceptable. In any case, I would still oppose the bus stop elimination because the stops are lightly used and the buses will not be traveling any faster. People will just be walking longer to a bus stop with a greater chance of missing a bus and adding up to 20 minutes to their trip. |
