      That said, neither NYCT nor BART has had any off-peak service cuts recently. New York's big cuts were in 2010, and BART still runs 2*3 tph.

      there may not have been recent cuts, but if Uber etc are really siphoning off transit riders, it makes sense that they would do so at times when transit is least convenient--and in doing so, they prove that there is more demand for travel at those times than providers admit

      The problem is that the 2016 pattern on the subway in New York is really not consistent with the Uber siphoning theory.

      I've been skeptical about the Uber theory, but only because of info I had read from Boston--what's the catch re: NY?

      I think one can say both "It's not all Uber's fault" and "crappy off-peak service is a big driver of ridership loss"

      yes--in general i think transit providers want it to be uber's fault because then they can avoid blame

      "you can't expect us to do anything, this is a technology shift" vs "ok, maybe the long waits, crummy facilities, and slow travel times ARE a problem"

      Unfortunately I'm not sure how many are even capable of conceiving of transit as something that's nice to use--which makes it very hard for them to make it so

      As someone who had several occasions where I relied on the R10 and some other PVTA busses I’m not sure I can say that it was particularly pleasant (although not being in the old bus terminal improves things a lot I assume)

      I would never call the current offering "pleasant" (and often hesitate to call it "acceptable"), the point is that if the people running it don't think that "pleasant" is even possible in the first place, they will be that much less likely to achieve it

      also R10 huh...you have my condolences; I think it's our busiest 1-per-hour route, lot more demand there than is being met by supply

          Then why is it not going up to 2 per hour?

          yes but poorly to say the least (I rely on a timed transfer for my commute, but God help me if one bus is running late, because the two routes operate from different garages and refuse to communicate to each other)

          Apparently! I've never heard of a technical obstacle to this, just inertia and bloody-mindedness

          Driver always tells me he won't call dispatch--if they were in the same garage, driver would be happy to use bus-to-bus communication, but won't do anything beyond this if circumstances need it

          How much do the drivers get paid, and are there problems with recruitment and retention?

          Gf went to Westfield State for a year, doing that trip from the NJ burbs to Westfield on transit was brutal to say the least. I’d like to see the local officials have to rely on that service even for a week (do any PVTA higher ups rely on it? 🤔)

          None rely on it that I'm aware of, although they do use it (I do, however, rely on PVTA bc I don't have a car)
