Not all the bus routes use that depot.enough do. Almost all the buses would have to add that extra mile to each trip. That more than wipe out any mileage reduction from deadheading A mile with maybe one stop, but in service versus empty. Losing dead head miles is good if you are carrying passengers instead. And I'm sure the drivers would not mind the extra hop if it meant a clean toilet and break room reserved for them, and as I said before, not using the side of church... If bus traffic is to be reduced in Downtown Flushing, buses will have to terminate east of Main St. There simply are not enough roads going between Main St and Willets Pt. There are a lot of buildings in the way, as well as the Flushing River and associated wetlands. I don't think you know Willets Point the way I know Willets Point. We just need the one road, and, believe it or not, it doesn't actually get as much traffic as you think it does. I used to do contract retail security work. I did a few shifts at a kids clothing store on the corner of Jamaica Ave and Guy R. Brewer Blvd. Jamaica at that point has two traffic lanes and two parking lanes. It also hosts 11 bus routes. Now, Roosevelt, for most of it's length between Main street and 114th street on the far side of the park, has. well. nothing. Jamaica Ave is a prime shopping strip and is full of people and traffic. Rooesvelt cuts through a park. Just a baseball stadium that sits empty 284 days a year. |
