You are making it seem like I said your travel time increases 100% of the time you take the bus because of bus stop removal. I never said anything of the sort. What I did say is that removing bus stops and increasing your walk time increases your chances of missing the bus and increasing your trip time. Whether that happens 20 percent of the time, or three percent of the time, it is still a true statement.The important fact is if removing bus stops helps or hurts more people. I contend it hurts more because the MTA is overestimating the amount of minutes the buses save by assuming all buses stop at every bus stop, which certainly is not the case for underutilized bus stops. They are also not considering the added dwell time to remaining stops when moderately or heavily used stops are eliminated. The average of 20 seconds saved for every bus stop eliminated is an overestimation for these reasons. |
