Here are the numbers for the Rockaway Beach Branch for a 1/2 mile radius around stations from Ozone Park to Rego Park.tot_pop;tot_workers;tot_jobs;desert_pop;desert_workers;desert_jobs 100751;36410;18617;15884;5724;3057 The desert population, workers and jobs are in areas that are further than 1/2 mile of an existing subway station. This is a textbook example of duplicating service, when other people have none. About 85% of those served already are within 1/2 mile of an existing subway station. The RBB's penetration for Queens residents in transit deserts is about 1.5%. The BQX and some of the RPA's vital subway expansions are worse. |
