The way I see it, they took the inefficiency on the Manhattan end and simply shifted it over to the Staten Island end (being that SI traffic is generally easier to deal with than Manhattan traffic, it may be more efficient than the current setup, but in my opinion, isn't the optimal efficiency that could be achieved). Right now, aside from the X1, the general pattern is that the longer routes from Eltingville take the quicker route via Father Capodanno, while the shorter routes from New Dorp take the busier route via Hylan Blvd.The way I see it, they could've done something like this: X1: Eliminated (Rush hours) X2: Rerouted via 5th/Madison X3: Rerouted to Worth Street X4: Rerouted to Worth Street X5: Rerouted to 5th/Madison, and also routed via Great Kills (Eltingville riders take the SIM22/X21 to Midtown for a one-seat ride, or take the S79 or another express bus over to Giffords Lane for Midtown service) X7: Truncated to 14th Street, and placed on Richmond Avenue instead of Giffords Lane X8: Remains the same X9: Truncated to 14th Street The tradeoff is that 6th Avenue doesn't receive service (I mean, theoretically, with the savings from getting rid of the X1, you might be able to create an X2A/X5A branch via 6th instead of Madison, but that might be too confusing). |
