Posted by BrooklynBus on Wed Jan 8 22:57:09 2020, in response to Re: Sign if you agree. RE:bus stop spacings, posted by checkmatechamp13 on Wed Jan 8 18:28:20 2020. One bus stopping to pick up a few passengers and another bus not stopping at that stop will delay the first bus by about a minute or less. With most buses at 10 minute headways, the effect on bunching is minimal. It would have to be repeated about ten times for it to mean anything. If the headways are every 3 minutes, you have a point, but bunching on a route with 3 minute headways is much less serious than a bus with 30 minute headways.What is a greater cause of bunching are wheelchairs. All it takes is one wheelchair to delay a bus about 4 minutes. Two for getting on and two for getting off. You surely aren't proposing getting rid of them? I do not believe the schedules even allow extra time for wheelchairs. Adding time for them so buses don't leave the terminal already bunched because of inadequate layover time would do more for bunching than eliminating lightly used stops that are usually skipped anyway. |
