Re: Queens Bus Network Redesign: Existing Conditions Report

Posted by Stephen Bauman on Sun Sep 8 16:51:31 2019, in response to Re: Queens Bus Network Redesign: Existing Conditions Report, posted by JAzumah on Sat Sep 7 22:21:43 2019.

The express bus system has a large amount of deadheading because the off-peak traffic is suppressed by high fares.

Here's one average weekday statistic. Actual Vehicle/Passenger Car Revenue Hours: 2,009. Actual Vehicle/Passenger Car Deadhead Hours: 1,524.

At the end of the day, it cost about $200/hour to operate an MTA bus, whether in express or local service.

Whether or not it's carrying passengers.
