Posted by LRG5784 on Tue Jun 7 12:22:47 2011, in response to Re: Staten Island Fantasy Map (56k), posted by Hank Eisenstein on Tue Jun 7 11:47:57 2011. You don't have to connect every possible destination pair, or run a bus that serves a major destination along every main road. Manor and Bradley are just over 1/2 mile apart, a reasonable distance to walk to transit. The Todt Hill Houses are LESS than 1/2 mile from Victory Blvd. So the assumption can be made that people going to the ferry from these areas are already walking to the direct routes. Routing the 54 to the ferry will have the effect of reducing the ridership of the other nearby routes...which will then have their headways reduced.Agreed 100%. To add on, the S54 acts as a feeder route to the buses that serve the ferry: the S61/62 on Victory, the S48 on Forest, the S46 on Castleton, the S44 on Cary, and the S40 on Richmond Terrace. Is there really a need to send another route to the ferry? Maybe yes, maybe no, but I'll have to say no. Is it really that difficult for people to transfer? As I've said the only thing that really needs to be done is to restore weekend S54 service along Manor Road but that's it. |
