Posted by R30A on Mon Feb 8 15:18:36 2016, in response to Re: Summary and Video of November 2015 SBS meeting in Woodhaven, posted by BrooklynBus on Mon Feb 8 14:53:05 2016. So- They called it BRT at the time because there IS no distinction.The cost of "PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING FOR SELECT BUS SERVICE ALONG WOODHAVEN BOULEVARD" is 15 to 25 million "The project’s current estimated capital cost" is 231 Million Your first source calls it "NEW SELECT BUS SERVICE/BRT ON WOODHAVEN BLVD " Your second source states "The New York City Department of Transportation (NYCDOT) proposes to implement bus rapid transit (called Select Bus Service or SBS locally)" So, you cite these two sources and claim that they show that SBS and BRT are different, despite the fact that BOTH use the terms SBS and BRT interchangably, and furthermore claim that they MUST be different because of the different costs. Well... Where is there a scope change? Yes, the preliminary engineering costs a lot less than the final project. That is almost universally true for every single construction project. Because the engineering cost for the Second Avenue Subway was $407 Million, and the Second Avenue Subway construction cost is $2.6 Billion, they must be different projects? Comparing engineering costs to construction costs does not indicate a scope change. I am not saying you were bluffing. I am saying that you are continually talking about something you know absolutely nothing about, and as a result of such end up repeatedly making absurd and incorrect statements. I also am forced to wonder if you are even basally literate. |
