"Most of the "new revenue" being cited is dedicated for specific CAPITAL expenditures (e.g. buying buses or building a depot) and thus CANNOT be used for day-to-day operating costs (e.g. paying drivers)."Now you know they were not going to say that publicly. "Transit would have to cut $12M worth of service elsewhere to pay for the takeover. Have the S.I. politicians decided which routes in which other boroughs will get cut??" Judging by their SI behavior, any local route will do. In fact, if MTA Bus runs the route, we can send the MAYOR the bill. Eureka! |
