It's just that way because they want it to be that way. A truly revenue neutral considers additional ridership if service is added. The MTA assumes no new riders in most cases.They assumed new riders for the diversion of a bus route to serve the Aqueduct Racino which just happened to almost exactly pay for the diversion. No back up was provided to explain how many new riders there would be. Just a statement that additional riders would cover the increased operating costs. But if any proposal is suggested to them, the response is that there would be no additional riders so the change cannot be done. Also, when there was a budget surplus, they still were insisting on improvements being cost neutral? How do you explain that? |
