[QUOTE="59 Dano, post: 5304619, member: 23516"] If I look at a couple of routes that have run with Estar, it looks goofy to me. One guy is going into an area, another guy is going into a different part of that same area, and it gives me a headache. Now, if I look at an entire station and an apples to apples comparison from pre-Estar to Estar (about the same number of stops and packages for that day or week) and see that the total number of onroad hours went down while making service goals, it still gives me a headache but I can see a real, tangible benefit. Whether it accomplishes its goals or not has nothing to do with looking at individual routes and seeing if it made them "better" or "worse," but with whether or not it's reducing hours without sacrificing service. In some places, it's not even close. In others, it's doing ok. We'll see. [/QUOTE]
