Re: There Doesnt seem to be one community that likes this plan

I really think the MTA was under pressure by DOT to cut MTA BusCo service to reduce the city subsidy. The MTA wants many new bus lanes and TSP. I guess DOT told them the only way they would have the money to pay for that is using the subsidy money for it. Why else would so many headways be cut and so many bus stops proposed to be removed? There is no other incentive for the MTA to cut service because it is all subsidized.

That's why NYCT was so angry at MTA Bus Co in 2010. Because they were forced to cut so much service in 2010, and MTA Bus cut very little service back then because they didn't have to because of the subsidy. How do I know NYCT was angry at MTA Bus? Because they told me.

Also, although they try to show a united front at public meetings, NYCT and DOT disagree on many things and squabble internally.
