I think the increased deadhead time is due to increases in restrictions regarding which buses could use which depots. Articulated buses cannot be used in certain depots, neither can electric buses, for example. Also, with restructured routes deadheads might be shorter if MTA Bus Co buses could use NYCT depots and vice versa.Regarding your first assumption regarding increased bus stop spacing having nothing to do with increased waiting time due to missing the bus, you are incorrect because it happens to me about 25 percent of the time. I see that I will miss the bus by walking the extra distance, but I would have had enough time to catch the bus if my old stop were there. In fact, I would have had to wait an additional 20 minutes in the rain if I didn’t see two buses just pass my bus stop, but the second bus stopped for me between stops when I waved him down. I would have made both of them if my old bus stop was still there. Bus Time is also useless being so close to the terminal. It saying 7 minutes plus layover is meaningless since they aren’t telling me the length of the layover. |
