For the suggested operation, i.e., a single Q53 stop between Rego Park and Broad Channel at Liberty Avenue, it would be "guessing" at its effectiveness until after it was done, after which a point check could be conducted at Liberty Avenue, counting offs and ons. Or it could be that stop at Liberty Avenue was made boarding-only southbound and alighting-only northbound, in which case the number of people on the bus would provide those data. But it is really having the historic understanding of the Q53 route and its passenger travel patterns, and of the demographics of the surrounding demographics of the communities served, that provides the insight into developing a working plan. That's something which the private companies understood well, notwithstanding the absence of them having sophisticated planning tools; and which MTABC is lacking, despite it having sophisticated planning tools. |
