Why have you never ever asked the MTA or DOT to substantiate all their unexamined assumptions like travel times will improve by up to 35% with SBS on Woodhaven?You have accepted every one of the MTA's unproven assumptions. Yet when I make the most obvious of statements that increased service equates with increased ridership, you question it by asking for proof. The facts are put right before you and you refuse to acknowledge I am correct. The MTA replaces a route from the subway to Country Club and the new route carries one third the same number of passengers per bus, yet you still insist the new route works better than the old one. Only one example. What about the cost per passenger going up dramatically after the attempts by the MTA to make the B48 and B64 more "effective" when those cuts had the opposite effect? Where is your criticism of the MTA or that? You have none because you believe everything the MTA does is correct. You have closed your mind to the great probability that the MTA is constantly making mistakes in their analyses and automatically dismissing anything I say. I really feel sorry for people like you who have lost their ability to think. I can say more positive things about the MTA, than I can say about you. At least they relented in their 2010 plans to permanently eliminate the B4 east of Coney Island Hospital and changed their plan to midday, evenings and weekends, after I presented anecdotal evidence that the buses were heavily utilized at 2 PM. They rechecked their numbers because of me and changed their plan to cut service only between 9 AM and 1 PM. Then they had to do a retraction and completely restore the route and now patronage is steadily increasing while the borough average is down. If you worked there, your response would be that you don't plan by anecdotal evidence and gone ahead with permanently eliminating that portion of the route at all times. |
