While I have not been out to observe the B46, you do mention the logistical problem with having SBS replace Limiteds. Limiteds can have local segments (as they often do near the ends of routes so as to provide maximum benefit to those who will travel further). SBS can't - at least not MTA's SBS. And I wonder if the main reason for that is that MTA does not have the resources right now to provide a financially efficient POP route. You shouldn't have to install weatherproof machines on a sidewalk anytime you want to add a stop. If there was a way around this (mobile POP and/or on-board validation) you could have the SBS operate much more flexibly.The B46 SBS not making it into Williamsburg is a glaring example of MTA not knowing how to do POP. Even CTfastrak with its dedicated busways knows that sometimes buses have to come off the busway to ordinary stops (no machines) in order to be practical. And MUNI has systemwide POP and not a single sidewalk machine in sight. |
