Posted by R30A on Mon Feb 22 22:31:25 2016, in response to Re: Summary and Video of November 2015 SBS meeting in Woodhaven, posted by BrooklynBus on Mon Feb 22 21:50:14 2016. "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."Pretty minor considering the great improvements they bring. "There are also the DOT costs to maintain the roadway markings and signage. They don't last forever." Has to be done anyway. "Repairing the machines do not come cheap. All the BX12 machines had to be replaced after three years." Yes. Lessons are learned. Now the MTA knows what type of machine is needed. The cleaning contract for the machines was $300K systemwide. Pennies. "But according to the MTA is most expensive ongoing component is for the Eagle Team." Unsubstantiated, but certainly believable. Unfortunately, there is no mechanism for them to work on non-sbs buses too, where fare enforcement would also be of use. |
