I think their hope is that folks on lower Richmond Avenue (between the ETC and Hylan) will use the SIM 22, if going to Midtown. They're hoping that'll keep the SIM 10 empty enough until it reaches Oakwood/New Dorp.As for the SIM 1- that's basically an absorption of the X3 by the X1. The MTA's data shows that between them, the X1 and X3 get a constant (and high) number of passengers- but on any given day, more of them may go to the X1 or X3, depending on which shows up first. So they'll just run enough SIM 1s to equal the service. Now, of course, the X3 is the route that starts in New Dorp- a short turn X1, really with a swing over to Brookfield Place. I guess they feel a SIM 1 with double the service + the SIM 7 can achieve the same purpose. It sounds good on paper on an expert's screen. Let's see if it works in practice. And as for those folks who live in Midland Beach who want Church Street or Brookfield, and the Willowbrook/Westerleigh folks who want the far west side- well, they're being told to lump it. Politely, of course. |
