I would do things differently, but I guess you can do what you want since it is your fantasy map. I just have a couple of comments:The reason why the S46 takes the shorter route to Mariners' Harbor is because it takes a long time to travel along certain sections of Castleton Avenue. Castleton Avenue is a fairly busy corridor, so it spends a lot of time loading passengers and stopping at the traffic lights there. I think the better solution would be to shift some buses from the S44 to the S46. I think the S48 should continue to serve Arlington, since that would generate more ridership. The only things west of South Avenue are a movie theater, Home Depot, and a trailer park. However, along South Avenue, there are more homes, as well as the Mariners' Harbor Houses and Arlington Terrace Apartments. I think the shorter S52 is better suited to serving New Brighton than the longer S44. The S58 route would get low ridership because of all the time it would spend in the Greenbelt, as well as the circuituous route it would take in New Springville. I don't think the S59 detour to CSI is necessary, as it would delay the route too much. I think having all S62 and S93 buses that currently short-turn at CSI extended to Richmond Avenue (or further) would be a better solution to the lack of north-south service to CSI. Passengers going noerthbound don't even save that much time taking the bus, as there is a shortcut to Richmond Avenue along Christopher Lane, which I've found faster to take even if an S62 was approaching. Your S71 terminates in the middle of nowhere. A better solution to serve Perth Amboy would be to either split the S74 at the Eltingville Transit Center, and have the western half extended to Perth Amboy, or send the S56 there (yes, it would bypass Tottenville High School, but it would serve Bricktowne, and there could always be S56 trippers from Tottenville H.S.) By the way, what would be the scheduling and span of your routes? Just list the routes that you would change the span of, as well as the new routes that you created (S58, S71, etc) |
