Posted by Mr RT on Mon Jul 11 08:36:58 2011, in response to Re: What is wrong with Select Bus Service, posted by BrooklynBus on Sat Jul 9 10:25:08 2011. The problem is in the mind set of the folks in the bus division.Our bus system is not run by a private firm. Most of the management came up thru the ranks, as did the current & past chief officer (Irick/Smith) both were drivers & both worked for Transit vs. "privates" before MTA Bus take over. So, they think service vs. cost. If a rush hour bus is always full, add a piece of the route, or add another bus. Nassau County is an extreem example where they filled the map in Eastern Nassau but carry hardly any passengers there. Now, lets take a step back & ask the question ... what should the primary mission be for the bus division ... service or with a goal of to operate at a break even or profit ? If you look at the Express service, you may conclude it is service. Note the above has very little to do with BRT/SBS .... |
