Posted by BrooklynBus on Tue Jul 13 14:15:38 2010, in response to Re: Assemblyman Dinowitz (Bronx) asks for paper transfers {cutback on Bx20}(B46 Fare Deal), posted by SubBus aka ENY Local on Tue Jul 13 01:36:33 2010. I didn't remember that.Intersting it took them until the 1990s to want to do something about the dollar vans along Utica Avenue which the MTA caused to happen in the late 70s by cutting headways from 2 to 4 minutes when the buses were already overcrowded at 2 minute headways bypassing people. First private cars started picking up people for hire, then they were replaced by gypsy cabs and much later the dollar vans. At that time (around 1976) they had no idea who was riding what line or how crowded the buses were. They just instituted a five or ten percent cutback in service across the board when the budget situation worsened. The heaviest routes during the rush hours with the most frequent service suffered the most. The B46 was one of them. I documented it in a report for the Department of City Planning in 1980. |
