Maybe it killed half the number of bus routes, but the numbers of buses remained the same. What it did was greatly increase the speed of buses as well as cars shortening trip times for all. It was a tremendous improvement and great idea because it enabled traffic light synchronization which was like putting a highway on every avenue. Funny that we never heard anything about increased traffic fatalities in the 1960s because of that. It wasn’t until we started encouraging cycling that traffic fatalities became a big deal. Just the other day a pedestrian was struck and killed by an ebike in Astoria.All the emphasis back then was traffic fatalities on holiday weekends. |
