The main purpose for the S79A would be to provide Giffords Lane some sort of service when the S54 is not running, which, under my plan, would be truncated to Seaview Hospital during off-peak periods so weekend service could be reinstated. 1) Having the S79 run limited would save money, not throw it away, since it would be able to run faster. It would probably attract additional ridership and revenue. 2) The frequency of the S79 is too low to run both a local and limited-stop service on the weekends. 3) What the MTA could do is the following: Run the S54 from Seaview Hospital to St. George at frequencies required to meet the ferry (ridership should increase from the connections available at St. George). Extend service to Giffords Lane every 30 minutes during rush hours. Run the S79A full-time every 30 minutes, so that Giffords Lane gets rush hours service roughly every 15 minutes. Off-peak, there would still be the S79A and S79 limited. |
