Posted by BusMgr on Tue May 15 16:33:36 2018, in response to Re: Q22 & Q35 bus routes redesign, coming soon?, posted by Catfish 44 on Tue May 15 14:44:47 2018. A few points. (1) I make the stated conclusion on the the duty of a professional planner to examine the full scope of a particular examination, and not to just cherry-pick those elements that may result in a particular outcome (in this case, a reduction of service). That is being dishonest as a planner. The duty also entails having sufficient knowledge of the circumstances, which in this case would include knowledge of the existence of Breezy Point, that it is presently unserved, and that there had been service to and from Breezy Point prior to its discontinuance by MTABC. That goes to the competence of the planner. Finally, that the planner may be influenced by some persons, perhaps certain individuals in Breezy Point, and to keep a matter of public concern away from a full and public consideration, constitutes corruption. Yes, a conclusion on my part, but one that I believe to be well-supported as indicated. (2) It may be, as I think you are contending, that there is not a single person in the entire city of New York that desires to travel by bus to or from Breezy Point. I don't think that is the case. If I am correct, then there ought to be a balancing of the need for such public transportation against the opposing interests (e.g., cost of service, dislike of public transportation by some persons). (3) Neither Green Bus Lines nor any other public transportation service operator supported by federal transit funding is permitted to operate a "school special." All services are available to all persons without discrimination.Again, the bottom line is that MTABC should be looking at route Q22 fully and honestly. |
