You'd be better off relabeling the S79 via Giffords Lane as S79A as the route wouldn't be separate from the regular route long enough to warrant its own designation as "S77" (ex. S44 and S61 have the same terminals but take very different routes; same for the S74 and S78).I actually have some ideas I'd like to throw in to better serve the area around the SI Mall that I never put up, so I thought I'd post them now: S44/S94 Limited: Send these routes via Marsh Avenue (behind the mall) instead of Ring Road (in front of the mall). You already have the S59 and having two buses that run along Richmond Avenue north of the mall via Ring Road is redundant, to say the least. The S61 would run in front of the mall in place of the S44. S55/S56: Run these bus routes in front of the mall via Ring Road. I don't know what good this would do to the lowest-used buses in the system but I figured the S55/56 could swap places with the S79. These bus routes will bypass K-Mart. S59: Same, except my ideas call for overnight service to be reinstated, and have the S59 run behind the mall during late night hours. During daytime hours the S59 stays the same. S61/S91 Limited: Run these buses in front of the mall in place of the S44. Riders can have access to service along Victory Boulevard without having to transfer to the S62, which suffers from traffic problems between Richmond Avenue and the Willowbrook Expressway during rush hours. S79: My idea calls for three S79s: S79 Local, S79 Limited, and S79A Local via Giffords Lane. The S79 and S79A Locals operate behind the mall and serve K-Mart, operating during daytime hours except rush hours. The S79 Limited operates in front of the mall but bypasses K-Mart, and operates during weekday rush hours and all day on weekends, generally during the hours the mall is open. S89 Limited: Same. Thoughts? |
