Posted by BrooklynBus on Tue Jan 7 19:53:50 2020, in response to Re: Sign if you agree. RE:bus stop spacings, posted by Spider-Pig on Tue Jan 7 18:23:16 2020. If the stops are frequent and all the stops aren’t heavily used, then some stops could be eliminated. If they are all heavily used, then you need Limited Stop service. There is no way you can justify eliminating over half the bus stops in the borough. And 101 Avenue where the stop spacing is proposed at every 6,000 feet, previously had stops about every 750 feet or less. The only reason I can figure for such as a severe cut is that they are counting on the people protesting so they can return half the stops, claiming to have listened to the public, so the distance ends up at every 3,000 feet which is still excessive. That way they come off as listening and the elected officials who fought to have stops returned can claim victory. The MTA and the politicians both look good and the public suffers.Increasing the bus speed by 25 percent as claimed saves the average passenger only two minutes. It makes no sense. I don’t agree with you about perception. The only thing passengers care about is how long did my trip take? They don’t care how long they ride the bus. |
