Articulated Bus Depot

[tomh009]

There was to be accommodations for articulated buses at Strasburg but from my understanding they are already near capacity.  They need to make sure that the two existing facilities and the new one can accommodate these buses cause "20-40mins is huge"

If a bus needs to go to the depot three times a day (just a guess, I don't know the real numbers) and you can reduce the trip from 40 minutes to 10 minutes, that's three service hours saved in one day (round trip, remember).  Assume 20 buses (how many terminate at Conestoga Mall?) and ~300 days/year (fewer trips on weekends), and you end up saving 18,000 service hours per year -- or about $2.5M at $140/service hour.

Plug in the correct time savings and number of buses above, but there is no question that the potential for savings is substantial.
