Posted by Mr RT on Wed Aug 18 07:58:38 2010, in response to MTA buying wheelchair friendly SUVs (VPG's MV-1 cost $40K vs $100K cutaway), posted by Gold_12th on Wed Aug 18 00:18:07 2010. On this site we have talked a lot about how cost inefficient the Express service is ... but here's another inefficient service !If 80% of Access-A-Ride are N-O-T wheelchair dependent then what's going on here ... these folks are getting door to door service because of a Fed. law (Am. w/Disabilities Act) ? The regular bus service also is wheelchair equiped, so what is the need for Access-A-Ride ? I think it's great that Transit's Bus division is trying to make this Access-A-Ride service more cost efficient (by buying these SUVs) ! Too often they end up carring one customer or have a bunch of no shows. Maybe it would be cheeper for the 80% that aren't wheelchair dependent to take a taxii ? |
