The thing that I've noticed is that any route that doesn't serve St. George or Bay Ridge will perform very poorly. It doesn't matter if it serves Port Richmond, the SI Mall, or any other neighborhood.That's why I gave my S79 proposal: People aren't going to be willing to use a bus to reach the SIR if the bus route runs infrequently, but the problem is that ridership in that area can't support a high-frequency route. Therefore, the solution is to try to connect that area with Bay Ridge (as well as the SI Mall) by sending S79s to Great Kills every 30 minutes. I do agree that a lot of those new routes are unnecessary, and the money would be better spent on improving service on high-ridership routes (the S48, S53, S79, and to an extent the S46) |
