Do you think anyone in Park Slope is smart enough to see what is going on with the B67. It's the B69 riders who will show up at the hearing. The B67 riders think their route will remain unchanged. And they wouldn't even get a chance for a hearing because it will be considered a routine service cut.We agree on B4. Nothing to talk about. What makes you think that Peter will do anything for the riders even if he does care about them? He has to show his bosses he cares about the budget not the riders. What would you do if you were in his shoes knowing that a previous head of OP who cared about the riders only lasted 6 months in that position? Would you approve changes that saved money and hurt riders or presented proposals that helped riders and didn't cost anything. Remember your goal is to save money. Do you still want the job? I don't know what else to want to know about the history of resolving the B1/64 problem. If you want to know what I would do, go to my website which I'm sure you know about, http://brooklynbus.tripod.com (Cut and paste. I'm to lazy to look up the HTML.) but remember it doesn't save money in the short run. You have to layout some cash which the MTA doesn't have right now. It only pays for itself after its been in operation for a while and has had a chance to attract new riders. In business they know that you have to give a little to get a little. The MTA doesn't. If they were to consider opening up a supermarket, they would figure out how much it would cost to open and then assume that no one would shop there and start projecting their losses. Then they would decide that they couldn't make money, say they did the analysis and it would not be good business, so they are abandoning the idea. |
