Of course there is no way one can determine which stops should be eliminated in one day and do a good job. That is exactly what I said. But it seems like that is exactly what the MTA did. Otherwise they never would have eliminated s many stops that are needed a which will just inconvenience people. Did you see the post by Stephen Bauman where he proved that massive bus stop elimination doesn’t even save the buses any time so there is no reason to eliminate 2,400 bus stops which is a major feature of the MTA’s redesign in Brooklyn and Queens. They also have provided no data to show the Bronx redesign serves riders any better. All they have said is that buses operate two percent quicker, but provided no data to show passenger trips are any quicker.My anecdotes from the 1980s are quite relevant in showing the MTA has the resources to perform competent redesigns in house. They just don’t have the talent because they don’t ride the buses so they have no idea what passengers actually have to endure. Most do not complain. You cannot design an adequate system from maps and data alone. |
