It would probably attract additional ridership and revenue.What I am saying is the S79 Local is already fast during middays so putting limited service during middays when the service is already "fast" will provide little to no benefits at all. That would be throwing away money. 2) The frequency of the S79 is too low to run both a local and limited-stop service on the weekends. This is where you've contradicted yourself. Weekend S79 service has more usage than weekday midday S79 service. The frequency of the S79 proves that. On weekends, limited S79 frequency would be every 8-10 minutes on Saturdays and 10 minutes on Sundays, whereas local S79 service would operate every 15 minutes, as the limited-stop zone on the S79 would not begin until Hylan/Richmond and run limited until Hylan/Steuben, meaning frequency on the S79 Locals and Limited's between New Springville and Richmond/Hylan would be on an average of 6-8 minutes. |
