from an average of every 852 to every 1295 feet. An analysis by engineer Stephen Bauman shows that on a typical Wednesday, bus speeds will increase from 8.63 to 8.77 mph, but on Saturdays will decrease from 9.29 to 9.25 mph and from 9.74 to 9.73 mph on Sundays while the distance between stops on Saturdays will increase from an average of 838 to 1397 feet and on Sundays from an average of every 840 feet to every 1312 feet on Sundays.
Conclusion— There will be no meaningful change in bus speeds on weekends or weekdays, while the inconvenience to bus passengers will be massive which is what I have been saying all along. The Queens Bus Redesign must not allowed to be continued until this is remedied by leaving 95% of bus stops where they are now. Trips must not take longer after the redesign than they took before the redesign which would be the case if one third of Queens bus stops are removed.
