Yes, because the city wants to shift money to the ferries without it being too obvious. It is easier to restructure service to maintain coverage than have the MTA propose to discontinue 15% of MTA Bus routes because of a subsidy cut.The proposal dumps the QM3, QM18, and QM36 outright without a direct word to those passengers. The QM3 has been sabotaged for years to protect the LIRR. The QM36 covers its cash operating costs under MTA Bus, so they are dumping a service that costs them nothing to run but overhead! This is not the worst proposal in the world, but my concern is that pure efficiency tends to make customers very upset in the real world. This is how NICE would plan the bus network because their subsidy is always under pressure. |
