Posted by LRG5784 on Tue Jun 7 12:38:06 2011, in response to Re: Staten Island Fantasy Map (56k), posted by (SIR) North Shore Line on Tue Jun 7 11:29:51 2011. That's not true because for the longest the S61 had 20 & 30 minute headways and recently they changed it to every 15 minutes and that requires an additional bus or two.That's because ridership growth called for the service increases. For example, the S79 in 1993 was running under half-hour frequency during off-peak hours but fast forward ten years later and it is now the second-most used bus route out of Staten Island and is also Yukon's busiest route. If you are going to increase service on a line then make sure there is demand for it. When a bus is basically carrying more air than passengers then runs will be cut and service will be reduced, no questions asked! I do agree that the service should now be better now that there are four depots in SI compared to 2009 when there were only two, but have patience! There are now more maintenance bays so buses can get the attention they need, and I rarely experience abandoned intervals anymore. Late buses, yes, but it's better than no bus at all. Remember, service increases don't happen overnight! |
