Council Member Rita Joseph inquires about the maximum length of bus routes in terms of time and distance. Glenn Risbrook explains the guidelines for ride times within and between boroughs.
- For in-borough routes without IEP mandated limited time travel, the standard is no more than 1.5 hours
- For out-of-borough routes, the guideline is up to 2 hours
- Risbrook clarifies that length and time are two different considerations in route planning
