Posted by fdtutf on Tue May 12 17:28:53 2015, in response to Re: We Now Have Definitive Proof SBS is a Failure, posted by BrooklynBus on Tue May 12 17:20:17 2015. 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. 1. You're overstating your case by a considerable margin. I'm not even familiar with most of the MTA's assumptions. 2. The MTA assumptions that I accept, I accept because they make sense. Yours don't. The facts are put right before you and you refuse to acknowledge I am correct. That's because you're generally not. And you're generally not because your "facts" rest on a body of questionable, if not absurd, assumptions. 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. I have never insisted that, because I don't even know what routes you're referring to! 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. Again, I have no idea what you're talking about. But it's entertaining to watch you flail wildly. 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. If all that is true -- and, given your record, I certainly wouldn't take you at your word -- then it seems to me that your beef with the MTA is that they won't do your bidding at every turn. I think you want the MTA to behave as if you were in charge of bus planning, but you're not and it won't and you need to get a grip and accept that. |
