  1. SI local is 60MPH max 65 SI Express is 85MPH max 90 That it according to iPhone 4's GPS
  2. The fastest train in NYC (exc. LIRR and MNR) is SIRX to tottenville 8.5 minutes from St George to New Dorp at a top speed of 85MPH
  3. What would be the fastest local bus in NYC? I'm guessing S74 Late Night
  4. There are 19 buses waiting outside wagner, making it the second busiest school tripper terminal. #1 is tottenville, with actual limited-stop S78 service in the morning
  5. That hasbeen asked before. The answer is yes. You see, the S61 and S62 are. A bit crowded during weekends. Maybe 12-minute on the S61 may be ideal but it wouldnt connect to the ferry. The solution? Add S66 service to the mix every half hour and you can even serve the forest shopping centers now. Of course weekend S60 customers may come back, bjt that is less than 200 per weekend.
  6. Has anyone noticed countdown clocks in staten island? I saw one on hylan blvd right before the hylan plz. Another was on stapleton in front of Deal$
  7. How bout we make the S77 end in that hospital near bay ridge i think in crospey ave? Since the S77 is running on castleton to west brighton, the S42 can be extended via the S44 on lafayette and henderson and end in west brighton with the S77. I also already proposed a S99 from the ferry to newark airport using forest and goethals. Now the S44, S46, S48, S52, S78 will see crowding relief with the new services as well as the S53 and S79 since some customers will now be using the S77.
  8. We can add LTD service along the S46 from west brighton Thdn bring it down the S78 to tompkins and then the S52 to fingerboard into the bridge and follow the S79SBS to brooklyn Stops: Rich terr-bdwy Castleton-bdwy C-bard av IS61 Cebra-Victory St Pauls-Victory or bay-victory Tompkins and broad (where 74 and 78 meet near romeos pizza) Tompkins-Hylan Fingerboard-Narros rd N or S 92 st 86 st-4 av on the side of the S79 Have it run every 10 during rush in the peak direction, 15 off peak direction, middays and 30 in evenings. It can run every 30 minutes to coordinate with the ferry on weekends. You can also add supplemental service as needed. For example, add two trips to IS61 in the morning, similar to the current S42. Finally, lets call this route the S77
  9. How about a S99 along victory and forest into NWA. Frequency weekdays: Rush: 2 per ferry. Middays: 15 Eve 20 Weekend Rush(NOONPM) 15 weekend AM/Eve 30 And a shuttle from bayyone to forest av stopping at innis st (S89 shortened) -40-20 40-20-20-40 40-20-20-40 Along with the LTD's, we will have served all 3 bridges
  10. Okay how about we propose the S99+ Select Bus Service through forest and south aves and still keep the 9698 during rush and even only. The other option will be to run the S88+ Select Bus Service through the S78 route down tompkins and then use the S52 route to fingerboard rd to get to the Xpressway. We also need S96-full weekday LTD and S94 7-day limited. 99: 15 20 12 30. 88: 15 15 12 30. 96: 7 12 10 20. 94: 10 15 10 30 30 15 15 20. 30 30 30 30. 30 20 20 30 30 20 20 30. 30 30 30 30. 30 30 20 30
  11. Ali know is, the S46 can have people standing at 2am. And the M15 local breezes at night at a 30 minute headway. It has 0 ppl below chinatown and it's supposed to be #1 in the sity
  12. The S53 isn't fast because I assume there are a lot of reds since it passes many big streets. LTD wouldn't solve that. This is the only route I think shud have traffic signal priority on SI, since it is expensive.
