Really interesting stats!
Based on this data, it is hard to say (without a red face or a giggle) that SBS is a ringing success wherever it is implemented.
Even though SBS routes make fewer service stops than the locals they are intended to supplement or supplant, all buses are victims of street traffic, which as we New Yorkers all know, can be just brutal on certain streets.
SBS definitely is not the same type of proposition as BRT; the "RT" in "BRT" usually means dedicated roads, not a curbside Bus Lane and traffic signal priority devices. Of course, I don't know how you would be able to have true BRT in NYC, except perhaps if you could "re-purpose" certain old railroad rights of way into 2-lane "busways" (i.e. the old LIRR Rockaway Beach Branch, from Rego Park to Ozone Park). |
