Posted by BrooklynBus on Sun Dec 21 11:45:22 2014, in response to Re: 16 Future Select Bus Service Routes Candidates & Proposed Funding by 2018-ish, posted by Gotham Bus Co. on Sun Dec 21 10:54:26 2014. They already wasted $6 million on their three year Southwest Brooklyn Transit Investent Study from 2003 to 2006. Zero changes resulted from that study. I went to nearly every meeting.They also admitted that their transportation model was not sophisticated enough to test and plan bus routes but could only be used to recommend general regional changes. The problem is that the MTA is on their Board, and would not let them propose anything they didn't want to do. They insisted that all the bus routing proposals be eliminated from the Final Report as well as any subway extensions or reusing the Bay Ridge LIRR. The only things that were left in were bicycle lanes, truck routes, and an overpass at Kings Plaza, after I recommended an underpass. I still don't see either happening. They are totally useless. Their prime function is to distribute federal funds. |
