It's incredible how much Bee-Line's Fleet transitioned between January and now. least we still got the 100s and 800s... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawrence St Posted November 22, 2022 Author Share #354 Posted November 22, 2022 With the redesigned #9, I believe the best use is to have the #9 operate normally up to Executive Blvd, continue up Broadway, make a right on Tompkins Ave, right on Nepperhan Ave, right on Exeuctive Blvd, left on Broadway to regular route. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCTransitFilms Posted November 29, 2022 Share #357 Posted November 29, 2022 Looks like the only 2006 Orion Vs left are 602, 604, 605, and 610. Haven't seen 601, 621, 629, and 630 out for a bit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawrence St Posted November 30, 2022 Author Share #362 Posted November 30, 2022 Here is my before-redesign suggested changes that should be done: 1C: Eliminate the alteration between trips ending at WCC and WMC. 6: Select Off-peak service would be extended from White Plains to Valhalla RR Station. 7: Eliminate the New Rochelle tour on eastbound trips. 14: On trips with the lowest ridership on the Verplank section, convert those to skip Verplank. 15: Add more trips operating only between Peekskill & Yorktown, except northbound service would skip Cortlandt Town Center. 19: Add Sunday Service. 30: Straighten the 30 in New Rochelle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to what happened with 577, the damage on 255 will take a while to repair, so 605 will remain for time being. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing should be skipping Cortlandt Town Center. Northbound 15 service can skip the Town Center because that just adds an additional 7 minutes for no reason. There's the 16 and 14 for alternate service. Unwarranted. Wow. With the BL-7 snatching up the lion's share of the usage b/w Yonkers & New Roc', the BL-30 could use whatever ridership it can get...

That doesn't tell me much of anything... It certainly doesn't tell me that more BL-6's to Valhalla specifically is necessary. You make too many of your points based off anomalies; and that's giving you the benefit of the doubt. 49 minutes ago, Lawrence St said: Verplanck or Croton. In this particular instance I meant Croton. Lol.... Nice pivot. Still don't think BL-14's should be skipping Croton either. 49 minutes ago, Lawrence St said: Northbound 15 service can skip the Town Center because that just adds an additional 7 minutes for no reason. There's the 16 and 14 for alternate service. Cortlandt Town Center is a ridership generator in Northern Westchester.... The amount of ridership generators in that part of the county are scarce... The BL-15 isn't exactly blossoming with ridership to where it can afford to be skipping ridership generators up in suburbia (regardless of the time it takes in the meandering around to serve those 2 stops).... If Yorktown Hgts. residents want a straight shot to Peekskill, they can drive there, have someone drive there, or get a cab - but there isn't remotely an amount of demand that would (or should) have Bee-Line throwing buses at the BL-15 to have them run b/w Yorktown Hgts. & Peekskill, to have those same buses skipping Cortlandt Town Center. 49 minutes ago, Lawrence St said: Wow. Wow, as in you're shocked that the BL-19 doesn't need Sunday service? Lucky the thing even gets Saturday service. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
