Posted by N6 Limited on Tue Jan 7 00:53:13 2020, in response to Re: Queens Bus Redesign Draft Proposals, posted by BusMgr on Mon Jan 6 09:46:11 2020. That reminds me of the NICE redesign meeting. There were public concerns about the N6 Express, N23/N27 merge, etc. I arrived late but still wanted to check it out.I told one of the planners I had concerns the N6 Express (since I knew it was a disaster, I used to use it every day, and it worked because it was quick and connected all the transfer points. And, by quick, I mean quick! This is back when Hempstead Turnpike was mobility friendly and N6 Limited trips would actually have the ability run non-stop between stops, like no red signals! City line to Franklin Ave in 8 mins one morning!) Anyway, he felt he could ease my concerns by saying that locals would run every 10 mins. But apparently they didn't monitor ridership patterns, because if the busiest stops ARE the limited stops, and both the locals and limiteds were FULL and flagging, then what did they expect would happen if 50% of buses would bypass all the busy stops? Needless to say, many N6 Express buses were empty, literally, and some were light with like 3 passengers! There were angry riders getting flagged like crazy. And now, the n6Express has basically reverted back to the Limited of the past, with 2 stops still not reinstated (Hillside & Francis Lewis, and Locustwood Blvd). |
