Posted by N6 Limited on Fri Apr 6 14:30:33 2012, in response to NICE bus line changes kick off Sunday, posted by Gold_12TH on Fri Apr 6 13:12:17 2012. 'Legis. Francis X. Becker Jr. (R- Lynbrook ) said that regardless of how few people are hurt by the cuts, he is "disappointed" that Veolia did not bring its plan before the county's newly created Transit Advisory Committee.The five-member board, which has yet to formally meet, was formed in February to oversee the system. Oh please. NICE had two community meetings where not only did they thoroughly explain everything in a presentation, the majority of the meeting consisted of questions and comments from the public. Not politicians, actual riders who took the initiative to show up. 'Setzer said he offered to give the committee a presentation on the changes, but the county never arranged it. That says a lot in itself about the County and Transit Committee. Though, according to the contract it was not required. 'Ryan Lynch , of the Tri-State Transportation Campaign , a nonprofit transit advocacy group, also criticized Veolia for not doing enough to communicate with the public ahead of Sunday's changes. Ryan Lynch, get your head out of your hole. They put up everything on their site, description of changes, videos, new schedules and maps weeks before changes were to take effect. They have signs inside buses, they have information up in the bus terminal. If you can post to twitter from the bus you can go to nicebus.com on your phone. |
