I will put my response here because I have no intentions of replying to Terrapin. How can he talk about logic when he doesn't even know the meaning of the word?Ever try having a discussion with him? He just goes around in circles. That is his logic. He was arguing me that it was perfectly logical for him to say I was wrong about something after admitting he never read what I said in the first place. Then he was arguing that because of some conditions he placed on his post it wasn't necessary that he should be required to read an article he was commenting on. Why should anyone even try to have a discussion with such an individual? He is the last one who should talk about drawing logical conclusions. He nor anyone else has ever proved any conclusion that I have come to as being illogical or wrong. They have only stated that such is the case. As I stated elsewhere, Paet 3 next Monday discusses the circumstances I left Operations Planning. On an attempt to return to Operations Planning (which was not successful because my former boss was bad mouthing me) at the interview, personally arranged by David Gunn, I explained my ideas of renumbering Manhattan bus routes so that they are the same name as the street they operate on such as renumbering the M106 to the M42. I was told that it was a dumb idea and totally unnecessary. But guess what, three weeks later all the crosstown routes were renumbered exactly as I suggested. So they stole my idea and didn't give me the job or credit for it. In 2001 I recommended extending the B83 along the Belt Parkway to Gateway Mall. They rejected that one too. They said they weren't allowed to operate buses on the Belt Parkway. I had to tell them that they could once they received a permit from DOT which they didn't even know they our do. Then they go and study this one mile extension for five years before implementing it exactly as I recommended. So if you want to call it sour grapes, go ahead. But everything I say is the truth. I finally retired because I had the age and wasn't enjoying what I was doing which had not been planning for over 20 years. As far as my beef with the MTA, it is solely with Operations Planning, not any of the other departments. They are the only ones who ignore my emails. I get responses and personal meetings with Superintendents and dispatchers whenever I have a problem. Can anyone else here say that? They are trying their best to solve problems. Unfortunately much of what needs to be done is not under their control. It is under the domain of Operations Planning and Budget. I have often said nice things about the MTA, just not about Operations Planning. |
