Re: But on long routes....

You also have to consider demographics and topography of an area. I was on the Coney Island Avenue bus today (which was the most crowded I have seen since after Covid) and I was amazed for a relatively short trip to see how many people had difficulty walking, like at least a half dozen. That probably explains why many if them chose to bus anyway instead of the Brighton Line.

Having the bus stop every 1500 feet as opposed to every 750 feet which is what the MTA is proposing in Queens would pose a real problem for them. Are they all supposed to now use access a ride which would cause the MTA to spend much more money than they would save?

In Astoria they proposed to eliminate stops on Steinway and my friend says she will now have to walk up the hill with her shopping cart in addition to her regular walk if they do that. You are still young. Wait until you get a little older and your views will change.
