Something I realized recently is that the MTA doesn't branch off routes in Staten Island or have nearly enough "rush hour extensions" as other boroughs. I gave your routes a second look and they all actually make perfect sense to me. I would send those plans in to the MTA!

It covers a lot more areas & it wouldn't hurt to have two bus lines running on the same street (S73 & S74 on richmond road & S77/S78 on Hylan Blvd for example) as long as the scheduling works. If there's better coverage and less transferring involved then more people would ride the buses.

The S44/S94 would do better if it ended at West Shore Plaza and have the S40/S90 terminate at Gothaels Rd instead with the S48. If you want the SI Mall you would have either Castleton Avenue or Richmond Terrace which is better because the SI Mall needs more & faster access from all over the Island instead of a couple of routes & having to transfer.
