It may be speeding the travel of the buses which is saving the MTA money. That does not mean it is saving the passengers any time at all the two aren't the same thing. To show that the passengers are saving time from origin to destination which includes walking time, you either need to do an origin destination survey which has not been done or else make public the results of your computer modeling data which the MTA has not done.If some riders are coming from the Lexington Avenue subway you are moving them to a less efficient mode of travel, not a desirable objective and not a success. If they are being diverted from the 3rd and Lexington Avenue buses, those lines are now more inefficient unless you reduce service on them slowing travel times for riders on those routes, so that wouldn't be successful either. With the data that has been released up to this time, the only success the MTA can legitimately claim is the savings in operating costs resulting from the increase in bus speeds. Until they release substantiating data, they have no right to claim a success for the passenger. |
