The issue in NYC in comparison to many other places is that running buses just might not be cost effective at all. Running buses along similar routes to the subway could increase trip times tremendously and as capacity would be tremendously reduced, labor costs would skyrocket as easily 5-6 buses (at a minimum) would be needed to replace 1 train. |
