40MntVrn Posted April 18 Share #576 Posted April 18 Considering it hasn't been announced which company will be the operator going forward, I'd assume Liberty is getting a real run for its money in the bid process. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cait Sith Posted April 18 Share #577 Posted April 18 (edited) Seems like the microtransit ideas from the redesign will be going through, as it's been signed off and awaiting FTA approval. This is a pretty big indication that the redesign will be happening as is. (the cost is per million) Edited April 18 by Cait Sith 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Microtransit won't work for routes like the 12 or 32. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm more of a proponent of microtransit being used within denser areas, as opposed to within semi-rural areas... In either case, as I not too long ago said in the SCT redesign thread, microtransit shouldn't be used to supplant public fixed routes (especially those that are under-performing, or otherwise below par).... Specifically to the 2 routes mentioned, well, as we both know, Bee Line themselves destroyed the #12... As for the #32, I honestly think fixing that route is an easy fix... Get rid of the portion west of Park Hill & have it circulate to/from MNRR Yonkers - something like this..... The #8 is all is needed for the portion of SW Yonkers, west of South Broadway.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love this idea. The 32's schedule hasn't changed since 2003, and that's extremely disappointing. For a route that's suppose to be a mix of a commuter/connector bus, the PM span is awful. It also stops running at 6:30 PM, when most of commuters come back from the train station at around 7-9:30 PM when the rush ends. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
