You're not throwing away money if you are saving money! Having a bus run limited is cheaper than having it run local. If there is very low ridership at those stops near Great Kills Park, you're confusing a lot of people just so a handful of riders at the local stops can have service.Under your plan, you would add service, which would cost more money. My plan is to make it cost-neutral by turning existing local buses into limited-stop buses. The S79 currently runs every 8-10 minutes on the weekends, so you would be adding extra service that is unnecessary, considering the fact that the S79 also shares its route with the S59 and S78, which provide additional frequency. Under your plan, between the S78 and S79, the limited stops on Hylan Blvd would see service roughly every 4 minutes on the weekends, which is overkill. |
