I would definitely argue that the limited buses are just as reliable as the train these days. Ridership on Staten Island hits it peak when the limited buses are running the most because people can actually travel within reasonable time. When the limited buses end, ridership on Staten Island dips low again so I will boldly state that if the MTA was to provide limited service throughout the day on the busier routes, the ridership will be more than there.Planning your trip is nice to say but when it's executed properly, in the end you still have to rely on the bus service which can be flaky at times. A bus could be scheduled to arrive at St. George at 8:52am but if it's running even a few minutes late which happens often, then your plans mean nothing. With the limited buses, even if they ran at 30 minute intervals, you would have a quick and predictable ride to/from the ferry. |
