Paaswell University Transportation Research Center Region II at City College of New York October 2000 Revised December 2000 Acknowledgments This project could not have been done without the help of a great many people. First of all were the people at New York City Department of Transportation, particularly LuAnn Dunbar, Richard Cohen, and Bill Hough. At Green Bus, we want to thank Doris Drantch, Dave Popiel, Larry Hughes, and Felice Farber. Martin Krieger, Senior Director of Operations Planning, was very generous in sharing with us the ridership numbers for NYCT Queens bus routes. Thurston Clark, Queens Surface, provided information on the electronic fareboxes. Additionally the research team at the University Transportation Research Center consisted of the four authors plus the following associates and students: Andrew Sakawizc Angel Medina Camille Kamga Ellen Thorson Sunanda Patharanage Chang Guan 1: Introduction Ridership on buses throughout New York City has been increasing in the last several years due to the combination of the economic boom and the use of Metrocard which allows passengers to make free transfers between subways and buses. The response to the free transfer was perhaps greater in Queens, where many neighborhoods were far from subways and previously using a bus to access the subway required paying two fares. This “two fare zone,” among other characteristics of Queens, led to the prevalence of the dollar vans, which diverted a significant share of the bus passengers.
