> Nyc has a subway for longer trips. So shorter stops make sense as anyone with a longer trip should be on the subway.
replyThat’s not how bus routes in NYC are organized at all.
To further elaborate — NYC subway routing is not effective for some kinds of trips
(notoriously: moving north-south through brooklyn/queens, east-west across much of manhattan, etc)
replyThere are very busy bus routes organized like this. Though I will agree it is a minority. Where not organized like this the article applies.
reply> Nyc has a subway for longer trips.
replyOnly if your trip is to Manhattan or along the line. Otherwise, in Brooklyn and queens, North-south subway service is almost non-existent. I live in South Queens a block from the A train. However, If I wanted to go shopping at Queenscenter Mall or along Queens Blvd, I have to take a bus up Woodhaven Blvd.
