Andrew, I think you are wrong about Suffolk County. It is my understanding that the county gives the buses to the operators and pays them so much a mile to operate the bus. That means to me that the county not only owns the buses, but the routes as well.If I am correct in my assumption (and I may not be) then all that happens is that MTA-Bus comes in when the contracts with the privates expire and say "see yah". Of course garage space would have to be found for MTA bus, but with some much empty land out here, that shouldn't be a problem. Most of the privates are primarily school bus operators, so I don't think they'd put up much of a fight. Wonder if they'd take over LI Bus which is solely owned by Nassau County, both equipment and routes, and is run on their behalf by the MTA. Are we suggesting that the RBA is just around the corner ? |
