Posted by BrooklynBus on Sat Jun 27 11:17:42 2026, in response to Re: Queens Bus Redesign After 1 Year, posted by Italianstallion on Fri Jun 26 15:32:28 2026. On Woodhaven Blvd,the speed limit used to be 35 mph which buses always operated at when they were limited stop before the bus lanes. I was once driving on Woodhaven at that time and it took me a half mile to catch up and pass that bus.Now with the bus lanes and the 25 mph speed limit, buses are much slower and operate less frequently with trips taking much longer, not to mention average car speeds have been cut more than 50% from about 30 mph to about 15. The excuse for lowering the speed limit was the street is one of the most dangerous in the city, although there was only one fatality in the previous 4 years, so they used statistics over 10 years without addressing the cause of those fatalities. How many were due to jaywalking, not speeding? I wish there were a way of getting those old bus schedules to compare running times to today’s schedules. |
