I think every single route should be routed via the back of the SI Mall (Marsh Avenue). It would allow the routes to serve the schools in the area (there are trippers that go to the schools, but it would still help for students traveling for extracurriculars and such), and the main benefit is that the buses would be closer to the homes in the area. I'm sure that there is at least some untapped demand for travel between the Marsh Avenue homes and the Richmond Avenue corridor.Having every single route on one street has its advantages: People have access to all possible destinations: For northern Richmond Avenue, there is the S44/S94 and S59/S89 For southern Richmond Avenue, there is the S59/S89 and S79/S79A For St. George, there is the S44/S94 and S61/S91 For the Eltingville Transit Center, there is the S55/S56, S59/S89, and S79/S79A. The only disadvantage that I see is that buses might be delayed a little bit when there is school traffic, and the S44/S94 are already long routes. Maybe, during those hours, a couple of S44 buses could start at Richmond Avenue/Richmond Hill Road. As far as your idea goes, I think my idea is better. It is advantageous to keep buses serving the same areas together (the passengers have the advantage of combined frequencies, which is important since neither of those routes is that frequent), so separating the S44 and S59 would be the exact opposite. Like I said, I think the S79 limited (or +SBS+ when they put it on Hylan Blvd) should operate all day, and the local S79A should operate all day as well, serving Giffords Lane. It is less confusing than having a rush hour limited/off-peak local scenario. |
