Agreed the M66, M57 and M72 probably belong in MJQ as they'd have less deadhead miles, but this won't always happen. I also agree that many routes do not operate from the nearest depot, but I think it's not nearly as simple as we think. I know that for one thing the depot must be able to physcially accomodate those buses. I imagine that DOB basically tries to distribute the buses/routes evenly based on the size and/or area of fhe depot.I think each borough could benefit from another depot because it would ease overcrowding. For many years (and currently) some depots must store numerous buses on city streets overnight. ENY and 126th immediately come to mind. If all buses are in the house or at least on NYCTA property they can be better safeguarded. Also if more buses are indoors they don't have to leave their engines idling overnight on nights when the temps are well below freezing. |
