Now here is where you are missing the big picture: the S79 +SBS would be the first bus route out of the Bx12 and M15 in which the route did not have a limited-stop variant to begin with. The MTA is looking to spend money anyway by speeding the bus route, but as I've said plenty of times, all that is needed is an S79 Limited and that would cost less money than an S79 +SBS. Less money would have to be spent to speed up the bus line, without having to worry about maintenance of the bus stations, and especially less stress over farebeating.You're extremely adamant about keeping these conversions cost-neutral when the S79 +SBS is still on the drawing board. The MTA will have to budget the costs for the added service in the long run as the plan is proposed for 2013. A faster solution is needed immediately, not two years down the road. Hylan Boulevard is one of the heaviest-used thoroughfares in Staten Island and the routes that use the street have ZERO Limited service. And no, express service does not count as no one (at least, in the right mindframe) is purposely going to ride from one end of SI to another for $5.50. |
