Posted by kcram3500 on Sat Jul 17 12:39:38 2010, in response to Re: I was quoted in today's New York Times, posted by BrooklynBus on Sat Jul 17 11:36:01 2010. Read his piece before. Doesn't change my opinion.What right do you have to demand MTA specifically accommodate YOU over anyone else? Out of the millions of passenger trips MTA provides, how many are affected by this new two-fare trip? A few thousand, tops? Sorry, not enough to be declared "unfair". What some people are being asked to do is take alternate (as opposed to replacement) service that already existed. The transfer complaint defeats the purpose of cutting the bus route in the first place - the alternate service was deemed financially sound (or it would have been cut as well), so why cut its revenue with the transfer? MTA's obligation is to transport the maximum number of people in the most financially efficient manner. BUT - they operate a money-losing business. They have to strike a balance between serving you the taxpayer and you the passenger. However, one of those two "yous" will have to pay extra for the other to be happy. |
