Blame longer bus lengths and the new subway exits for the cause of the problem. Add to this the MTA's planning's disregard for customer convenience.Bus stops were originally separated by operating company. Queens-Nassau buses used the block between Roosevelt and 41st Rd; North Shore buses the blocks between Roosevelt and 39th Ave and Roosevelt Ave between Union and Prince Streets. That was back in the day of 30 foot buses. There wasn't much change when the 40 footers were introduced. The 60 footers, SBS and eliminating turns from Main onto Roosevelt started the chaos. The multiple turns required to avoid making turns from Main onto Roosevelt induced more bus traffic than it eliminated. It also meant that many routes required two stops instead of one. All that gobbled up curb space and a hike in the rain to get to/from bus to subway. |
