MTA's service planners' psyche is that ridership is not elastic, but the recent fare increases and the 6/27/10 service cuts proved otherwise. The planners are ignorant or incompetent, usually both.First, Operations Planning has to be shifted from the Office of Management and budget, i.e. the bean counters, to Service Operations. Next, the planners should either go through reeducation or lose their jobs. The class could be taught by Brooklynbus, the one who took the Brooklyn bus service changes from his master's thesis to fruition in November 1978 (bear in mind that this is only half of what he wanted). There could also be guest lecturers from other cities, e.g., Philadelphia and Toronto. MTA's planners need a heavy reality check, because at this point in time, most don't deserve their jobs. Plain and simple. |
