• Abstract:
  New York City Department of Transportation (NYCDOT) subsidizes several franchise bus operators in Queens and Brooklyn. These companies have been operating since the first half of the 20th century. With substantial increases in ridership there is a need to examine the routes to determine if they are still best serving the travel needs of the riders. This project had dual purposes: to establish a method for determining ridership by route and simultaneously checking the reliability of the boxes; and to analyze (based on existing data) whether the existing routes could be changed to better meet needs. The results of the study are reported in this document.
