Re: Queens Bus Redesign Exposed

The big-picture needle may have moved just a little if indeed reliability has been increased...

There's no quantitative mention of reliability in the Final Draft either.

There really isn't a well defined reliability measure.

If this were viewed as a process control problem, error would be the sum of the square roots of the squares (rms) of the arrival time schedule deviation at each stop. This would equally penalize early and late arrivals, thus making schedule padding not a shortcut for increasing reliability.

This is a difficult measure to calculate as a practical matter. This is because the MTA does not publish reliable real time data for bus arrivals at stops.
