Posted by TheHat on Wed Nov 19 21:00:37 2008, in response to Re: MTA Planned Budget Cuts to Buses (Local and Express), posted by Q46 LTD Glen Oaks on Wed Nov 19 20:34:14 2008. Seperate contracts, LLE and NYBS are two seperate entiities according to our expired contracts MTABus doesn't exsist yet so the work can't move unless employees move. That would require a contract w/ a provsion for general seniority for picking work. At this point people wouldn't matter to the MTA, the bottom line is they don't carry anyone, especailly off-peak and weekends. Ask the people on the BxM11, they lost trips that start at Pelham Parkway. Those trips picked up 30-40 people at that stop. The MTA now starts those trip from 241 and makes them wait and have less seats availible. Last pick the MTA cut 2 buses from the N/B BxM1 during the PM rush hour and lost 3189 to ECH. We at Yonkers are already slated to loose 4 runs next pick along w/ 4 buses from the depot. If there us contract for all of MTABus, MaBSTOA & LIB they will move work and they have said locals will come to Yonkers and the BxM11 WILL go to ECH. The feasability is the fact that the Bx7 & 10 is that Yonkers is only 12 min. DHD to 263 St., opposed to 26 min. DHD from the overcrowded KB. It would cost less to have runs and reliefs from Yonkers. The MTA has been kicking those ideas around along w/ the Bx9 for over a year now anticipating a single contract. So there it is from the inside. If it happens I can't say for sure, but that's what they have in mind and they will continue to cut where it is wasteful. I don't want to see it happen, because it could mean my job. I have just over 4 years there and I could be cut if the cuts are deep enough. I just state what I hear, not what by any means I want to hear. It is what it is. |
