Posted by BrooklynBus on Mon Jul 25 12:09:19 2016, in response to What happened to the B44 thread?, posted by BrooklynBus on Mon Jul 25 09:39:05 2016. I will do each of your posts separately and they may not be done all right now.First of all I want to thank you for reading the report. 1. What great deal of information about the B44 SBS was available prior to the report? 2. "Why delay an essential project for construction?" Because the construction supposed to be finished before the project starts so it can work properly. The MTA even blamed the construction fir the 8 percent ridership decline the first year. So it made perfect sense to delay the project start until construction was completed to avoid an 8 percent ridership decline. 3. The questions I asked are ridiculous? Come on now. A progress report needs to describe all relevant events. Fare evasion and machine reliability, for example are legitimate subjects that need to be discussed in a progress report whose purpose should be to tell the complete story, not only the positive aspects. 4. You are being totally inconsistent. You state that in the case of the M15, only first year ridership results matter because ridership went up. But in the case of the B44 when ridership decline by 8 percent the first year, much greater than the borough average, then it's the second year results where SBS went up by 10 percent is what matters. Also for the M15 we also count local ridership the first year, but for the B44 we ignore the second year local ridership decline but instead only count the SBS second year numbers, because for that route the first year results do not matter since they were lower. You are playing with a deck of five aces. That's why you win. I will have no part in playing a game of cards with you because you are cheating just as your buddies at DOT and the MTA are doing. Now I am wondering if you even bothered to read the report. I stated that there are two possible reasons for SBS ridership to have gone up. 1, as you stated that SBS is far superior to the local service and 2, the local service has deteriorated so much that people are forced to take the SBS if they do not want to wait inordinate amount of times for the local. You just completely discounted the second possibility despite tons of customer complaints regarding the second possibility. You seem to have made up your mind that you will not concede a single point despite the evidence and are just making up things by saying there was much material available prior to the progress report proving success. If that is true post those links. If you can't, then you are just blowing hot air. If this is the caliber of your analyses to just deny everything I stated and list unproven allegations, I am not even sure I even want to read your other posts. But I will try one more before I convince myself I am just wasting my time replying. |
