I continue to insist that there is no need for two cross-island bus services in Egbertville and Richmondtown.And, I prefer to keep the S61/91 as is for simplicity. If you wish to use a limited-stop route on Victory Blvd, knowing that it would be limited-stop between the Ferry Terminal and JEWETT AV is a no-brainer. And, shifting the S61/91 to Manor Rd would be detrimental for Bradley Av riders. After all they matter, don't they? I am, however, intrigued with how you would restructure South Av service in Arlington, Mariner's Harbor, and Bloomfield. If there's anyone in Operations Planning reading these posts, remember that the goal is not to "minimize operating cost" but to "MAXIMIZE OPERATING EFFICIENCY". Is there a need for two routes serving Forest Av east of South Av? Maybe. My hypothesis is that S46/96 and S48/98 riders are walking the 1/2 mile between the mall and Forest Av; there must be mitigation. If one route is only needed, which one? if two, which two? After all, getting the public involved in the planning process from the start is a good thing. Remember, OP, if it has to be done, do it right. |
