Agreed.The B110 was actually first offered to the MTA. They responded that there was no market for such a service. Don't know if other private companies were approached, but those who wanted the service knew there was a demand and just formed their own company to run it. Today, there are also about three other routes run using small vehicles that all start in Borough Park. Did you know that when bus routes first started in the 1920s, many such as the B14 bus started as illegal jitney services that received franchises and became legal after several years of illegal operation. There was no city agency that decided where these routes should run or planned them. They just started operating. |
