Description
The SIM1 service has been very bad for commuters going home. It has led to 20-minute waits and overcrowded buses. There are four SIM4 buses for every SIM1. This is regarding SIM1 service between 4:50 and 5:12. I understand the BP is not responsible for this but the BP is a constant advocate for every Staten Islander and I just ask the office to continue doing a great job and be aware of this budding problem.

My own experience has been that the line is missing buses approximately every other day, so I will certainly call it in if I see the very long delays occurring again.
