Posted by Osmosis Jones on Tue Mar 8 18:21:58 2011, in response to Re: S83 Limited & S53 to Arlington (and the S57A/B, S59A/B, S99, X21), posted by (SIR) North Shore Line on Tue Mar 8 11:49:29 2011. Why are they terrible? The S40 can't keep up with it's current schedule for some odd reason so by splitting it into two, us S40 riders get better service from both the S57 and S59 instead. If you notice, in every plan the s40/S90 gets the axe!Richmond Terrace riders west of Port Richmond Avenue won't have service to the ferry. Extending the S57 to St. George is overkill, and no one is going to ride the S53 extension. Those living in Mariner's Harbor would have the S46/S96 which is only a few blocks up from Richmond Terrace and the frequent S53/S83 to Brooklyn. That is not a bad plan at all, it benefits everyone and would also take riders off the S44 route to the new S59. The only thing is that the S59 and S57 should just run the entire route instead of having the A/B plan. I don't see how this would help the S44, the S44 serves a completely different area than the S44 between Lafayette Avenue & Forest Avenue. The S46 is packed to the gills most of the day like the S40 and S48, and diverting riders to the S46 is a terrible idea, especially when the current routing isn't artic-friendly. The S99 makes sense too but it should take a different route, maybe turn down Willowbrook Road so that it can serve CSI & run down to Travis Avenue instead because the S96 already covers South Avenue. The S99 is also a dumb idea, people in Mariners Harbor use the bus to get to West Shore Plaza, and the only extension the Forest Avenue Limited should get is one to Elizabeth. Extend the S40 to West Shore Plaza instead & give people who work at the Teleport a reason to take the bus. |
