As far as I can tell the only time the claimed to consider revenue in their planning of new or changed routes was for the route they rerouted for the Aqueduct Racino. And I don't even believe them there because the amout of revenue they predicted tey would get just happened to be the exact amount they needed. There was no analyses done as to how many riders were inconvenienced by that change by having 5 minutes added to thir trip. That has a dollar figure attached to it ion terms of time wasted by those riders.They once rejected a proposal I made to them solely by saying it would cost $50,000 extra per year. If that were the case I figured that two new fares per bus would pay for that. Although it made te route accessible to hundreds of houses, the MTA assumed no additional passengers. Further, even without added revenue, it was a cost neutral proposal because it added zero time to the route, but it was a quarter mile longer. They considered the extra distance but ignored the fact that the time stayed the same. Bottom line. If they thought of it, it is a good idea. If you thought of it, they can't do it. |
