Staten Island Express Bus Restructuring |
|
|
Posted by BusRider on Wed Sep 12 20:15:45 2018 Based on customer feedback and observations on the ground, we've made changes to some of our initial routes. We are continuing to review the length of trips and other issues such as overcrowding. We will continue to adjust service when necessary. We're also updating the assets on this page, so maps, timetables, and trip planners will reflect the most up-to-date information.Changes we’ve made with your input: SIM1c: In the morning, we adjusted service so that there are buses every 20 minutes after 3:50 a.m., with trips at 4:10, 4:30 and 4:50 a.m. In the afternoon, we added a new SIM1c trip out of Central Park South, departing at 2:00 p.m. SIM4c: We’ve added reverse-peak trips to the College of Staten Island, leaving 57th Street at 7:20 a.m. and 7:40 a.m. SIM5x and SIM6x: To increase service, these buses now stop at Hylan/Tysens and Hylan/Lincoln, before stopping at the Father Capodanno Park and Ride, and continuing to Manhattan. SIM6: Two trips were added at 7:20 p.m. and 7:50 p.m., to give commuters options to go home later in the evening. SIM7: We add two trips at 2:30 and 3:00 p.m. to offer more capacity. SIM7: We expanded the length of evening service by 18 minutes, adding a trip that leaves Broadway and 13th Street at 7:18 p.m., stopping at West St and Vesey St at 7:42 before heading into Staten Island. SIM8: We added a 6:00 a.m. Manhattan-bound trip to close a gap in service and maintain a 10-minute interval between buses. SIM10: We’ve added more trips out of Eltingville Transit Center: 4:10, 4:26, 4:41, 4:48 , 4:56 a.m. and 4:58 SIM34: Two trips were added at 6:54 a.m. and 7:54 a.m., and the trips in between were adjusted, to provide buses every ten minutes. SIM35: We added two trips at 6:35 p.m. and 7:05 p.m. to give commuters options to go home later in the evening. A shuttle started to run to provide service from Eltingville Transit Center to Woodrow Rd and Huguenot Av between 10:43 p.m. and 2:00 a.m., to provide better service to points on the southern end of the Island. Major changes to how buses travel in Manhattan SIM6, SIM22, and SIM26 buses travel south along Lexington Av (instead of 5th Av) during the PM rush. This change should speed trips on these routes, as well as trips on the routes that will remain on 5th Av. SIM6 now stop at: 57 Street at Madison Av Lexington Av at 52 St Lexington Av at 46 St Lexington Av at 41 St Lexington Av at 33 St Lexington Av at 27 St SIM22 and SIM26 now stop at: Lexington Av at 52 St Lexington Av at 46 St 42 St at Madison Av |
