Posted by TheHat on Wed Nov 19 12:10:49 2008, in response to Re: MTA Planned Budget Cuts to Buses (Local and Express), posted by AMoreira81 on Wed Nov 19 11:24:57 2008. If 20/50 went into effect for us, though unlikely because it would require an act of legislation for pension to enter the state pension system (currently we are not state employees, but employees of a public benefit, thus not in the state pension fund)at least the top 15 B/O's, 10 Maint. would retire at Yonkers, however the top 40-50 % at Eastchester. Remember at the time of the take over the cut off at Eastchester made the least serionr man at 12 Years of service w/ the loss of BOE school bus. Eastchester B/O's have the age and years of service to retire on the 20/50 system. If they stay w/ the current age 62, $105 x years of service at Yonkers & Eastchester. College Point & LaGuardia age 57, $82.50 x Years of service you won't see as many retirements if any at all at Yonkers, few at Eastchester and the norm at CP & LGA. So it's up in the air for MTABus. MaBSTOA, NYCT w/ 20/50 will see a mass exodus of the hires in the mid-late 80's. Still the MTA would have to give MTABus a contract to start consolidation to cover retirement and eliminate service at MTABus depots. If the express fare does go up even to $6.00 Yonkes will see cataclismic decline in additional to the 33% since the MTA takeover as our routes have direct access to subways(Bxm4 & 11 the BxM1,2,3 & 18 via Bx7,9,10 & 20 W1,2 to IRT 1 Bx1,2,3,10,12 to IRT 4). Other MTABus depots have seen a steady rise in ridership across the board since the MTA takeover, even in express ridership. |
