They are able to reduce service slightly on the local routes to make way for limited buses and I'm certain the ridership will be more than there for those buses.I don't know what routes you are talking about but the SI local routes I mentioned have always had dismal service since the early 2000s. Now that the bus routes no longer have abandoned intervals and frequent breakdowns, the service was able to be brought to the inadequate level which is not enough. Staten Island's population is only expected to rise from this point on, so it's good to invest for the future rather than keep looking at the current numbers. The MTA does this rather often yet you guys are denying that they do. It's only because of the recession why they went into "cost-neutral mode" because right before the recession they had big plans for new routes and expansions and the lack of limited service for the SI routes has not gone unnoticed. |
