There is nothing wrong with my logic and I corrected the mathematics which was insignificant. It is still only a three minute time savings for the average rider that is more than outweighed by the ensuing inconvenience. And don't forget you have to make these longer walks during all sorts of weather, downpours, frigid temperature, exhausting heat and sun, and through deep snow. That's at least 30 percent of the time.Yes bus service has to be optimized for the greatest good which is why the MTA originally resisted making buses wheelchair accessible until they were forced to by the Americans with Diaabilities Act. Perhaps it's time for another lawsuit because this definitely inconveniences the disabled as well as many more. To expect much greater increases in Paratransit because of this is not financially wise due to the much greater subsidy that system requires. |
