Re: B44 Progress Report Released

Page 6:
"Inadequate Local Service, Poor Bus Reliabilityand Nearly Empty SBS Buses During the Peak HourWe know from media reports that local passengers initially complained about a denigration in local bus service claiming routine 40minute waits for a localbus after SBS began."
Do you have the statistic showing that local service was actually substantially reduced?

"They had to wait months for local service to be increased."
Three month response times? That is FANTASTIC.

"SBS buses still routinely arrive three at a time with no reduction in bus bunching despite the exclusive bus lanes.
SBS ridership south of Avenue W is virtually non-existentwith only about six passengers per bus riding in the peak direction at virtually all times,"
Where is your source for this?

"while the B36 to Sheepshead Bay is so overcrowded during the morning rush, passengers are frequently bypassed."
B36 is not affected by this. If the B36 has problems, they should be fixed. (The MTA just did fix a number of them independent of the B44SBS!)

"This is due to the fact that Sheepshead Bay passengers did not switch en-mass from the B36 to the SBS as the MTA predicted."
Who says they predicted that?

"In fact, there areso few B44 riders south of Avenue W that local service south of that point was cut by 75 percent afterSBS implementation when you consider that prior to SBS the Limited buses made all local stops south of Avenue U."
If there are so few riders to those stops, then the B44 SBS not making them is not a problem.
