Re: Another Queens Bus Redesign misstep

The willingness to carry it out will always be limited when you have a populace that merely tolerates trains, especially subways. You cannot force everyone to use subways. Get rid of all express buses and you will have a reality where those in gentrifying neighborhoods get to use citibike, ubers and lyfts at their pleasure while everyone else suffers. You know what, there's a push to subsidize citibike and once that happens I bet lyft will get more preferential treatment from NYCDOT than the private bus companies ever could dream of. As much as people used to hate on the Coopers on these boards 20 years ago, especially that "voiceofreason" guy on bustalk, the bike activists funded by Mark Gorton as well as uber and lyft are worse, much worse. I wish that we had a world where much of Queens bus service was managed by Paul and Douglas Cooper today in 2025.
