Re: Another Queens Bus Redesign misstep

Express buses make the situation a lot worse.

First, the passenger subsidy is far greater for express bus riders than local bus riders. This is because most of these buses operate twice per day. Each requires a driver and storage space. The average express bus rider subsidy is in excess of that given to DiBlasio's ferry boat riders. That's how bad it is.

NYCT/MTA bus operations are the least efficiently operated in the US. The extra operating cost, compared to the average of other large cities, is and has been around $1 billion per year. It's the elephant in the room that nobody is addressing or even acknowledging.
