Posted by (SIR) North Shore Line on Mon Jun 6 08:47:12 2011, in response to Staten Island Fantasy Map (56k), posted by Osmosis Jones on Thu Jun 2 16:24:33 2011. I like your plan Osmosis but after reading some of Hank's and checkmate's post, I would have to agree that SI service is better off as a grid like the rest of the city rather than like Long Island Bus with multiple routes on 1 street going to different places. The ridership would not justify having two or three buses following each other for most of the route as the schedules would have to follow the ferry's schedules. I would rather have more & steady limited service between major points on Staten Island on the busier routes.Here's my version of a SI "fantasy" map:  All of the North Shore routes have more than enough room to grow and run more frequently. Off-peak, 30 minute limited service on the S90, S96 & S98 should be introduced for ferry riders and 15 or 20 minute headways for local service. S53 - Service reduced to make way for S63 to Mariner's Harbor via Victory Blvd & S83 limited to Port Richmond. S54 - Weekend service restored but only between Seaview Hospital & West Brighton. S59 - Extended to St George via Richmond Terrace. Part-time extension to Tottenville eliminated. (School trippers would still cover the S59 to Tottenville.) S61 - Eliminated. Replaced by S91 service. S63 - New route between Brooklyn & Mariner's Harbor using Victory Blvd, Watchogue Rd, Richmond Av & Forest Av. This route would take a significant amount of ridership off of the S53 & S62. S83 - New S53 limited to Port Richmond. S90 - New limited stop at Bard Avenue. S91 - Local between SI Mall & Bradley/Victory, limited on Victory Blvd. S93 - Extended to Richmond/Victory. |
