They shouldn’t be in effect when buses are more than 5 minutes apart.This translates to 60 buses per hour per intersection, if the total amount of buses are 5 minutes apart. The report threshold was 100 crossings per hour the last time I ran my intersection crossing program. Hillside intersections with bus crossings with 100 or more bus crossings per hour appear on this list between 6-7am and 8-9pm. I'm rewriting the program to make it applicable to any transit agency in the world that publishes a GTFS schedule. I believe that NYC intersections are the most crowded with buses worldwide. I want to prove or disprove this hypothesis. When this project is completed, I'll initiate a report to include streets in NYC that require bus lanes, according to your 60 crossings per hour criterion. I believe you may regret your statement:=) BTW, I believe transit planners from both the MTA and NYCDOT have no idea of how busy street intersections are with scheduled bus traffic. I have a note from the MTA via NYCDOT that assures me that scheduled bus intersection crossings never exceed 100 crossings per hour. |
