Study Finds Buses Tardy
AMNewYork reports a new study has found that New York City buses run late (an average of 5 minutes, 15 seconds behind the posted schedule).
This study was done by the New York City Transit Riders Council. I sincerely hope they didn’t spend too much money on it, because they could have just gotten on any bus and asked the riders if the buses run late and gotten the same answer.
The one semi-valuable conclusion of the study is that delays are caused by traffic and other conditions outside the control of the MTA. It’s valuable, because at least we know why there are delays. On the other hand, we basically have a study that tells us what we already knew (buses are late) and that there’s nothing that can be done to solve the problem. Thank you NYCTRC!
