NYCT's service planners are afraid to think for themselves for fear of retaliation.A true service planner knows that when you change a service, you play with people's lives. The problem is to bring it down to a science. SEPTA's service planners has done this for years with their Service Standards and Process. Go to www.septa.org, drag the cursor to "Media" (not the city, LOL) and click "Reports". Go down the page to Other Reports, and click. It's there for all to see. So, will cutting back the B64 from Coney Island to Ulmer Park really save $900,000 a year? the B4 from Knapp St to Coney Island Hospital $800,000 a year? SEPTA's Service Standards and Process will make you think about the true cost of service. Unfortunately, NYCT is only one of two public transportation entities in the USA where Operations Planning is overseen by the bean counters (LACMTA is the other). Until this changes, all of the above would be for naught. |
