Posted by dkupf on Sun Jul 18 20:41:06 2010, in response to Re: I was quoted in today's New York Times, posted by BrooklynBus on Sun Jul 18 12:52:32 2010. BrooklynBus is 100% correct!In his neighborhood, the B4 was cut back during the non-rush from the Regal Sheepshead Bay Cinema to the Coney Island Hospital. 60% of these riders overall, and 75% on weekends, used this service to get to the cinema. Now, unless you live near a bus that transfers to the B44, and there are few, you're screwed. It's now more convenient to travel to Times Square! Instead of staying in Brooklyn, what these riders prefer, they now go into Manhattan. The remainder used this route to access the Sheepshead Bay subway station. What would you tell them to do? Walk? People in these neighborboods will choose to drive than use another bus route. In the end, the MTA gains nothing, and more people are more inconvenienced. Including yourself! |
