Some of those express routes ridership numbers are awful. Also, it's hard to believe that the B25 was on the chopping block (it had quite solid ridership). |

Posted by B49 limited on Fri May 29 09:52:29 2009, in response to Re: 2008 New York City Bus Ridership Figures, posted by phxtusbusfan on Thu May 28 20:19:15 2009. S60, Q 79, S 55, S56, S 67, S 89, B 51, Q 75, M 18, S 93 are at the bottom 10 and notice that 6 of the 10 routes were on the chopping list. What I do find intersting most of the routes are from SI. But if MTA Bus was added in the mix I think the Q 89, Q 103 would probably be in the mix. |

Interesting stuff.The weekend services that were going to be canned carried more people on the weekend as a group than the illegal S89 carries all week. The S60 should be an on-call Access-A-Ride van on the weekends. It is cheaper to operate that for free than to put a 40 foot bus there. However, the canning of these routes would have saved just $289,000 while shutting down the S89 would save $1,200,000. Then, they could extend the S93 down to the Eltingville Transit Center to pick up the 450 Richmond Avenue limited passengers. Assigning all of those buses to the S93 would produce a far larger ridership gain at much lower cost. Does anyone now wonder why the MTA never escapes from financial peril? |
