Re: Queens Bus Redesign - Total Numbers

Posted by BrooklynBus on Wed Apr 17 11:35:40 2024, in response to Queens Bus Redesign - Total Numbers, posted by Stephen Bauman on Mon Apr 15 10:36:38 2024.

I am a little confused. Does the decrease in the walk to subway population mean that more will be taking the bus to the subway?

Also, I can’t see how the redesign will be an overall benefit with the elimination of so many bus stops. The MTA contends that bus stop elimination will result in faster buses. Yet the average speed is increased by a negligible 0.2 mph. Yet the average increased walking distance to a bus stop is much more significant, over 50%. So how could a 0.2 mph increase in bus speed account for faster trips for the bus passenger when the average passenger must walk 50% more at each end of the trip? Am I seeing this correctly?
