The ridership doesn't just disappear when the "MTA's rush hours" end, they just dramatically drop service levels during the 9am hour while potential ridership doesn't actually drop during those times. There's less buses on the road, which means longer headways and thus many people plan around using the local bus service (cabs, drive, xbus,etc).If the limited service were there, it would attract new and existing riders, become self-sustaining and eventually cost-neutral. It's not a matter of "if", it's a matter of when MTA will finally do it. |
