Approximately a dozen people showed up. By a 5 to 2 vote, the committee recommended that the full board vote to deny the renewal of the permit on June 6. The board's recommendation is purely advisory, but DOT has previously said it would listen to what the community wanted. Megabus picks up passengers near the Port Authority Bus Terminal in Manhattan. The Port Authority says the long lines and traffic have created safety and crowding problems. Major companies that pay millions to operate at the busy hub have protested. ---http://abclocal.go.com/wabc/story?section=news/local/new_york&id=8664958 |
