bobtehpanda Posted July 25, 2017 Share #1 Posted July 25, 2017 DOT just released a report on TSP and its effects, and more importantly, listed corridors on which they will be implemented in the future. The full report can be read here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RES2773 Posted July 25, 2017 Share #2 Posted July 25, 2017 This is very important. I hope the DOT can keep a good pace for this. Transit Center (transitcenter.org), who i recommend all of you explore the fantastic work they do, has done a lot for this. Has anyone heard of bus turnaround nyc? That's them. They actually very recently put out a video of a song they made about TSP. it's slightly cringy, but all in good fun. Here it is: (I really hope vimeo links work for this feature ha ha.) https://vimeo.com/226769799 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
checkmatechamp13 Posted July 26, 2017 Share #3 Posted July 26, 2017 So from my understanding, it's a corridor-wide program (in other words, the same GPS system that they use for BusTime is used to detect how far the bus is from the signal, so if say an S93 went up to a signal on Victory, it would have the same effect as an S62/92, correct?). The same thing with an S59/89 or express bus along Richmond Avenue in the S79's portion of the route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in that case the light would never change during rush hour especially along Hylan. Idk how TSP works with multiple buses but I do know that there's a time limit on the extended green. When the bus triggers the extended green, it'll hold it (within the limit) until the bus enters the intersection and then flip it to yellow.

But it's also supposed to create an early green so the cross lights wouldn't be very long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danielhg121 Posted July 27, 2017 Share #9 Posted July 27, 2017 Yep Queue jump lanes would be neat. Wouldn’t be surprised with the texting and driving drivers run the red and possibly rear end the bus.

CenSin Posted August 4, 2017 Share #13 Posted August 4, 2017 Queue lights don't exist. You mean queue jump lanes. See this video. These would work perfectly with TSP. (There’s no point in having the queue jump lights activated when there is no bus, so some system must already be in place to know when a bus is present.)

N6 Limited Posted August 4, 2017 Share #14 Posted August 4, 2017 That's true, I forgot about that, but that's because the bus would have a difficult time getting to the bridge since it has to cross like 4 lanes of traffic. I was thinking more about 125th at since I was on the M60 a few weeks ago and there were double parked vehicles in the bus lane and it took forever to get across to the IND.
