Posted by R40SlantontheB on Sat Apr 28 22:07:45 2012, in response to CEO: NICE Bus sets ridership record, posted by Gold_12TH on Fri Apr 27 16:37:10 2012. I heard quite the contrary, some guys have been telling me ridership is down 20,000 daily, and what I've been seeing reflects that. As a daily bus rider, service is much worse now than it was in 2010 with the MTA. Its not just that there are less buses, but they are often late or don't show at all. Was at Hicksville today and there were alot of people waiting for the 5:01pm n20, and some guy said he'd been waiting an hour, which leads me to believe the previous bus never showed due to a breakdown. Then the 5:01pm never showed up, and I decided to get the train at 5:23pm and change to the other train at Mineola.Ask any of the bus operators that have been here awhile and they will say the same thing, lots of breakdowns, no maintanance, and alot of new hires that have no experience driving a bus. Plus with hardly anyone maintaining the fare boxes, read errors and broken ones are more common than ever. And Veolia cant keep blaming the breakdowns on the MTA, they've been running things for nearly 5 months now! |
