Re: Signal priority in NYC

So you're telling me that buses are going 20 mph on the Verrazzano, Whitestone, and RFK Bridges just because there's passengers? You're telling me the S78 was going 20 mph along the southern part of Hylan Blvd back when the speed limit was 40 mph?

Yeah, buses have to obey the speed limit, and the lower speed limit means the buses need to drive slower. Yeah, on narrow commercial streets with frequent stops, yeah, the B/Os are probably not getting over 20 mph, but on wider streets with less frequent stops, they're pretty much going whatever the speed limit is (Whether it's 25 mph or more).
