Queens Bus Redesign After 1 Year |
|
|
Posted by Stephen Bauman on Thu Jun 25 08:28:14 2026 The MTA published new GTFS bus schedules on June 23rd. These schedules permit evaluating scheduled parameters, including average bus speeds and the average distance between stops.The Queens Bus Redesign was implemented in 2 phases. The first phase was implemented on 29 June 2025; the second on 31 Aug 2025. The release of the GTFS schedules permits comparing operations a year before, the inauguration and one year after. Here are the results: July 15 to July 21 (1 week - 7 days) Data for Before Queens Bus Redesign 2024 VRM: 628,831.18 VRH: 67,106.28 Stops: 3,434,423 Trips: 53,157 Avg MPH: 9.37 Avg Stop Dist (ft): 966.8 Data for After Queens Bus Redesign 2025 VRM: 673,686.18 VRH: 72,519.83 Stops: 2,683,251 Trips: 55,840 Avg MPH: 9.29 Avg Stop Dist (ft): 1325.7 Data for After Queens Bus Redesign 2026 VRM: 674,849.71 VRH: 73,217.07 Stops: 2,429,801 Trips: 56,650 Avg MPH: 9.22 Avg Stop Dist (ft): 1466.5 N.B. VRM is Vehicle-Revenue-Miles and VRH is Vehicle-Revenue-Hours. These figures differ from the National Transportation Database (NTD) definitions. The NTD definitions include recovery time. The definitions derived from the GTFS schedules cover only the miles and hours from the departure from the first stop to the arrival at the last stop for each trip. This difference results in slightly higher average speeds than the data published in the NTD. |
