JAzumah Posted July 1, 2020 Share #3 Posted July 1, 2020 There is WAAAAAY too much daylight express bus service and virtually nothing new at night replacing the subway. The bus system is carrying 30% of its normal riders overall. I would make a guess that express buses are tracking similarly to commuter rail at around 20-25%. That means MTA express bus service should be operating at 50-60% of its normal capacity with a base rush hour schedule of 30 minutes and a base off-peak schedule of 60 minutes. The BM Downtown/Midtown splits should be on a base schedule. That schedule should be reviewed every two weeks for adequacy. Local bus service should be operated at 75% of normal schedules and bumped up as needed. Meanwhile, buses should be running a subway shuttle parallel to the closed subways every 20 minutes. They should not be free. There should be a double transfer issued between 12AM and 5AM across the entire city. That is cheaper than Uber. In addition, certain core routes should run every 20 minutes overnight, such as the B41, B46, M15, and Bx12. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason why the subways are closed is because politicians do not want to propose a plan to deal with the homeless in a meaningful way. Free shuttle buses move the homeless issue onto buses. That does not solve the problem. How do you access control free buses? The express bus system should have a peak/off-peak fare structure. A lot of people would opt for a $3.50 off-peak express bus outside of Staten Island. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Union Tpke Posted July 1, 2020 Share #6 Posted July 1, 2020 Thank you once again for doing this exceptional work. This really struck me, but it is not surprising: Quote B1 - Net Reduction due to Artic Conversion AM rush service will operate every 8-15 minutes instead of every 6-10 minutes Midday service will operate every 10 minutes instead of every 8 minutes All PM rush service to Manhattan Beach and late PM rush service to Bay Ridge will operate every 10 minutes instead of every 8 minutes Saturday Daytime service operates every 8-10 minutes instead of every 7-9 minutes Slightly more frequent service during the early evening hours on Saturdays Sunday late evening service will operate every 35-40 minutes instead of every 25 minutes Bus riders would much rather have crowded buses than have to wait 35-40 minutes. This is inexcusable. Quote B11: Omission of Overnight Service There's no overnight service listed here, as if the B11 won't be running anymore during overnight hours If this is the case, this would count as a major service change, and should have been brought to the MTA Board.

checkmatechamp13 Posted July 1, 2020 Share #8 Posted July 1, 2020 (edited) @B35 via Church On the subway service guide (it used to be on the map itself but now I believe it is a separate document...or at least it was last I checked) it classified overnight as 12:00am - 6:30pm daily. Funny enough when I was little my mother and I got screwed by that. The was listed as operating evenings (8pm -12am) but actually ran until 9pm.

The MTA is conveying it based on the beginning of the first trips and the end of the last. This is actually normal for the MTA. The issue here is that the MTA's choosing to either advertise the departure times or the overall span (probably in an attempt to say that buses are still in operation after the last departures). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are better off figuring out how to secure your future than running 100% service for 30% of normal ridership. The new bus orders are a clue to what express bus service is going to be left.

It's not as if all of those buses will be retired. The only thing being retired are the 2002 models and some of the 2005 and perhaps some others here and there. Some of the express buses are still fine. No need to retire those. Most of this order is for Bus. The previous order saw about 505 express buses, but they were desperately needed. This time around, I'd say the number is fine. Out of 307 buses, 50 goes to Staten Island. The rest are for Bus. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
