I just happened to find this wonderful page.
Once the comprehensive redesign of the Staten Island express bus network is in place, here’s what you can expect to see:
- Approximately 99.5% of existing riders would have average travel times similar to or faster than their trips today
- The average end-to-end route running time would be reduced by an estimated 20 minutes
- Because reducing route length generally improves performance, all riders would experience the benefits of a more reliable system
- Approximately 86% of riders who currently have a one-seat ride to their destination would continue to have a one-seat ride – the remaining 14% would most likely make a free transfer to the subway in Manhattan
- Many routes could be more easily rerouted on the fly in response to road incidents and delays
- The entire express bus network would be easier to understand
