Posted by TheHat on Thu May 26 04:39:59 2011, in response to MTA Bus Ridership Dwindles As Subway Gains, posted by Gold_12th on Thu May 26 03:36:39 2011. The decreased reliablity of buses in the MTA. When the authority doesn't cover runs and uses antiquated dispatching proceedures to "put buses on time" fly in the face of providing service, it results in other means to get to their final destination. Traffic is an issue due to the reduction of service and lanes of travel throughout the city(Bike lanes, greenstreets and etc".) Also in some instances changes in routing w/o enough time to cover new ground result in late buses and the cycle starts again. It is sad to see my rush hour BxM2 ridership in peak direction. Some day I may see less than 15 pax. on a 15 min headway. Not 6 yrs. ago I would have had a standing load at that time on a 10 min headway. |
