Re: B44 Progress Report Released

Posted by Stephen Bauman on Fri Jul 8 19:22:34 2016, in response to Re: B44 Progress Report Released, posted by GojiMet86 on Fri Jul 8 10:04:48 2016.

The MTA has figured out a very good way of lowering costs. You just cram people into fewer buses that have long distances in between stops and called it progress.

The experiment has been a failure, if that were the goal. The October 2013 schedule shows 283 locals and 292 ltd trips per weekday. The December 2015 schedule shows 286 locals and 329 SBS bus trips per weekday.

The passenger counts remained roughly the same over this period. This means that the load levels for the SBS buses had to decrease. The reduced load level is one contributing factor for the reduced loading times.
