Re: Queens Bus Redesign - Total Numbers

Posted by BrooklynBus on Wed May 1 20:44:55 2024, in response to Re: Queens Bus Redesign - Total Numbers, posted by checkmatechamp13 on Wed May 1 12:35:48 2024.

The 20 second average is solely based on the acceleration and deceleration time saved by buses not stopping. Ten seconds to decelerate and ten seconds to accelerate. The assumption is that buses stop at every bus stop all the time which of course is not true. They also ignore the increased dwell time at adjacent stops near the skipped stops. The real average might be closer to 10 or 15 seconds depending on the neighborhood. In less dense areas it’s probably ten, in most 15, and in highly dense neighborhoods, 18.
