Re: Sign if you agree. RE:bus stop spacings

Who said there weren't? But for bus passengers it is less important than for subway passengers.

You are actually going to believe the MTA report? Of course some people are asking for fewer stops. Those are the only people the MTA is going quote. They are not going to tell you who wants to maintain the existing stops because they want to eliminate stops. You have to realize that. Did they do an impartial survey asking everyone to comment if they want stops every 759 feet or every quarter or half mile or over a mile apart? No. Because a few people said they want fewer stops isn't justification for any route to have stops a mile apart with no local service.

And I never said it is wrong to eliminate unnecessary stops. All I am saying is you have to do it in an intelligent manner. Setting a formula that you arbitrarily apply differently to different routes is not the way to do it.

They didn't eliminate stops in the Bronx like they are doing in Queens.
