Go check the staff summaries. Each one asks to Board for $2 to $3 million in additional annual operating costs for SBS. And those are only the MTA costs. There are also the DOT costs to maintain the roadway markings and signage. They don't last forever. Repairing the machines do not come cheap. All the BX12 machines had to be replaced after three years. But according to the MTA is most expensive ongoing component is for the Eagle Team.IF SBS ridership went up for the first year, that means given the same levels of service, it was successful for the first year. If there was a big drop in patronage after that, it is no longer successful and modifications need to be made to get it back on track, maybe add or delete stops, increase enforcement, increase or decrease service etc. According to your rationale, we need not monitor any routes after the first year once we declare it a success because only the first year matters. All we need to do is devote all our efforts to establish new routes. Ridiculous. If existing routes have problems and they do, those must first be addressed before we create additional routes with problems. |
