I'm guessing extremely similar, and if so they are scheduling like that in order to increase reliability. The idea is that buses would be less late. Basically the schedule is padded.If the speed went down then that means they really want to brag about reliability to the exclusion of all else. I'm not saying I like this approach, but I'm pretty sure that's their plan. |

You're braver than the MTA. :=)For extra credit: the average Queens local bus speed is 9.29 mph on Saturday and 9.74 mph on Sunday. What would be the average Saturday and Sunday average bus speeds with the Queens Redesign? |

On a typical Saturday: bus stop spacing increased from 838 ft to 1307 ft, while average bus speed decreased from 9.29 to 9.25 mph On a typical Sunday: bus stop spacing increased from 840 to 1312 ft, while average bus speed decreased from 9.74 to 9.73 mph. |
