  • Response of Residential Property Values to the Replacement of Limited-Stop Bus Service with Bus Rapid Transit an Analysis of New York City’S Bx12 Select Bus Service
    RESPONSE OF RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY VALUES TO THE REPLACEMENT OF LIMITED-STOP BUS SERVICE WITH BUS RAPID TRANSIT AN ANALYSIS OF NEW YORK CITY’S BX12 SELECT BUS SERVICE A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of Architecture and Planning COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in Urban Planning by Michael J. Curley May 2012 Michael Curley, “Response of Residential Property Values to the Replacement of Limited- Stop Bus Service with Bus Rapid Transit: An Analysis of New York City’s Bx12 Select Bus Service.” Submitted May 2012. Advisor: Dr. Lance Freeman. This research investigates the relationship between bus rapid transit (BRT) and property values within 5 and 10 minute walking times of stations. A before and after difference-in- differences model is used to determine whether the values of residential properties already served by limited-stop bus service are impacted by an upgrade to Select Bus Service (SBS). Assessed values of residential properties for intervention and control areas from periods before and after the announcement of SBS (2005 & 2007) and before and after the beginning of service (2007 & 2009) are used to estimate the capitalization effects of SBS. Results suggest that SBS has only resulted in marginal improvements to quality of service and that residential properties within immediate proximity to Bx12 SBS stations are not more highly valued relative to control area properties during either period of analysis. Response of Residential Property Values to the Replacement of Limited-Stop Bus Service with Bus Rapid Transit This study investigates the relationship between bus rapid transit (BRT) and An Analysis of New York City’s Bx12 Select Bus Service property values within 5 and 10 minute walking times of stations.

  • NYC Tries 'Rapid' Buses in Bid to Cut Transit Costs ­ Nytimes.Com
    1/22/2015 NYC Tries 'Rapid' Buses in Bid to Cut Transit Costs ­ NYTimes.com January 3, 2011 NYC Tries 'Rapid' Buses in Bid to Cut Transit Costs By NATHANIAL GRONEWOLD of G r e n w i Tenth story in an occasional series on the greening of New York City. Click here to view the series. NEW YORK ­­ The city's much­maligned bus system is getting a face­lift. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) surprised commuters on Manhattan's East Side last fall by launching shiny stretch coaches to replace old grimy buses on the route that links the island's southern tip to East Harlem. The new buses cruise 90 percent of the route in a new "bus only" lane marked by signs warning motorists that they face $115 fines for parking or driving in the path. The M15 Select Bus Service (SBS) is New York City's version of "bus rapid transit," a Latin American innovation that's being copied around the world. The Manhattan route runs along 1st and 2nd avenues and was first seen as a stopgap measure until a new subway line could be completed, but the city's Department of Transportation says the service is likely here to stay. As with bus rapid transit in Curitiba, Brazil, and Bogota, Colombia, New York's Select Bus requires passengers to pay prior to boarding to speed up the trip. With ticket in hand, riders can board through any door, instead of all lining up single file at the front to pay their fare one by one.
