I think you give voters too much credit.

You bypass stops, leaving passengers stranded. You don't pull into bus stops. Instead you make people cross active traffic lanes to get on the bus so you save time. You yell at passengers.

Any voter worth his salt knows that ANY campaign promise requires signoff from multiple parties. We have no kings here.

April 15, 1957 - The Book of Service Changes Manhattan, New York Surface Transit, Inc. Effective as of this date, service on the M-105 - Tenth Avenue line is reduced to one franchise trip a day. Around this period or within the next year, the frequency of service of two other routes of parent Fifth Avenue Coach Lines � FACO Division's 1 - Fifth Avenue and NYCO Division's 22 - Pitt and Ridge Streets � will likewise be consigned to one trip daily. All three routes will be discontinued on March 1, 1962, due to a strike. (Sources: "Surface Transportation System - Manhattan and the Bronx," Motor Coach Age, March 1970; "Avenue C Line" by Bernard Linder, New York Division Bulletin, August 1988; "Tenth Avenue Line" by Bernard Linder, New York Division Bulletin, December 2002.)

Be that as it may was that part of the campaign promise? The �voters� were promised free buses. Nothing about a drawn out process of red tape and concessions.

April 14, 1946 - The Book of Returns to Normalcy Manhattan, New York Fifth Avenue Coach Company Effective as of this date, most bus stops which had been discontinued due to World War II restrictions are restored on most Fifth Avenue Coach bus routes. Thus, bus stops are once again spaced every two blocks as opposed to every four blocks as had been the case during the war, and bus stop stanchions along the curb will indicate stopping points. However, crosstown street bus stop spacing will remain basically the same. (Source: "To Our Patrons" notice [dated April 12, 1946] from Fifth Avenue Coach Company.)
