Thoughts about Express Routes

Recommended Posts

I was lookin thru the schedules of Express Routes and idk wjy most of the MTA BUS routes have 1 hour frequency for QM routes before, it was a 30 minute frequency.Also, the X17 waits every 30 minutes AM/PM but Saturday middays is like 1 hour and how come the BXM7 is the only express route that waits 15 minutes on Saturday.

Reading that, I'm not exactly sure what your concern is... So if it seems to you like I'm going off on a tangent, you now know why....

 

MTA Bus express routes were once ran by private companies... the schedules on those expresses back then, were simply adopted by MTA Bus, and slightly altered (on some routes) over time...

 

Politics & conspiracy theories (lol) aside, overall route usage & ridership (while often interchangable, it's not necessarily the same thing) is a key factor in determining how frequently any given route runs at.... for the purpose of not providing an abundant amount of service, or too insufficient service....

 

You may be raising legitimate points... but with the way you constructed this particular post, it's like you're comparing apples to oranges to grapefruits....
