Re: Queens Bus Redesign Results In Slower Speeds

Posted by Stephen Bauman on Mon Mar 9 12:42:32 2026, in response to Re: Queens Bus Redesign Results In Slower Speeds, posted by New Flyer #857 on Sun Mar 8 09:47:35 2026.

I personally don't care if they pad the schedules.

The actual speeds are published with at least a 1 month delay.

Here are the actual monthly average speeds for the first 7 months: Jul to Jan


before month/year: 7/2024, before avg speed: 8.78, after month/year: 7/2025, after avg speed: 9.02
before month/year: 8/2024, before avg speed: 8.7, after month/year: 8/2025, after avg speed: 9.11
before month/year: 9/2024, before avg speed: 8.49, after month/year: 9/2025, after avg speed: 8.86
before month/year: 10/2024, before avg speed: 8.58, after month/year: 10/2025, after avg speed: 8.93
before month/year: 11/2024, before avg speed: 8.6, after month/year: 11/2025, after avg speed: 9.01
before month/year: 12/2024, before avg speed: 8.62, after month/year: 12/2025, after avg speed: 8.98
before month/year: 1/2025, before avg speed: 9.1, after month/year: 1/2026, after avg speed: 8.9

The January results may or may not reflect the snow storm. We'll have to wait. If there were not a mistake in the MTA's date data, I would have excluded the snow dates. There was some question as to whether these dates were reported to the MTA Board. New bus schedules were issued on 8 Jan 2026, so we'll have to wait and see whether the Jan speed decline is a snow job.

BTW, I've communicated the date error to the MTA. We'll see how long it will take them to fix it, if at all.
