Posted by Future Motorman on Wed Feb 28 16:27:28 2007, in response to Re: More W20 Service Added to Accommodate New Bus Riders Headed for Yonkers Raceway, posted by TheGreatOne2k7 on Tue Feb 27 20:06:07 2007. Why is it a dumb reason to not run the 90, but run the 60, 61, and 62? Different type of riders ride. I worked at RYE Playland, and I am telling you those whio ride the buses during this time are not the same type of riders, who ride to work on the 60, 61, and 62. Besides, the Bee-Line did not have to run that line at all. That was an agreement B/W NYCDOT, and WCDOT at that time. The 90 I do not recall ever stopping in New Rochelle. It basically served The Bronx, while the 91 served Yonkers, Mt. Vernon, and New Rochelle. I rode the 91 to work when I worked at Playland. While the 92 had one bus at night, and the 91 one arctic, and one standard, the 90 had six or more arctic buses. Now, if you want to get to Playland, take MNRR to RYE, and get the 75 Express bus.For those of you who complain about the Bx 12, 22, and the 60 riding with a few people, so what. It is a Westchester Bee-Line bus, funded by the WCDOT, not NYCDOT. So that argument is mute. NYCTA needs to get more buses to serve NYC then. Westchester does not need to add the service. The Bee-line is for Westchester County. That is a fact. If NYCDOT wants to pay Westchester for that service, then that would be a different story. Customers in Westchester do not need an increased wait in time, because to 60 is doing NYCTA buses work in NYC. NYC pays the MTA 500 million a year for NYCTA buses, and subways. Throw a few million Weschesters way, and we would be glad to give the supplemental service. Last only poster who live in NYC and are used to the six minute wait for buses complain about the frequency of service. Here in Westchester most people drive. The bus is not something that is relied upon, except by people in the poorer part of the County. So if any routes will get an increase it will be those routes (2, 7, 20, 42,etc.) Hell, the buses do not run on X-mas, or Thanks (for taking our land), Giving (us a reservation). So the buses will be ran in a cost effective way, or property taxes go up to pay for the waste. I agree the 40 need to go to the Bronx. I have questioned why does it not. 241st, is at the border. A Football quarterback can throw the pigskin into Westchester. I also agree the Bee-Line suppose to link the 2 counties. It suppose to link Westchester with The Bronx, but not necessarily The Bronx with Westchester. So that is why the 90 should have never ran, IMO. It served the Bronx. The 91, and 92 served Westchester. MNRR to Rye RR station, then take the 75 express, to get to Playland. By the way the county police had to put undercover officers on the 91, due to the Mt.Vernon younger workers, who were smoking, drinking, and acting an ass on the bus. A police car tailed the bus too. The 91 has to run due to it serves Westchester. The 90 did not (it only picked up in the Bx, and went express to Playland, and Picked up in playland, and went express to the Bx). I propose the NYCTA, ask for permission to run express buses to Playland, during the summer. It would be cheaper than MNRR to the Bee-Line. WCDOT does run the 4C into Manhattan, so the BxW1 should have the courtesy to run into Playland. Last I would like to see the NYCTA run routes into Westchester so we can be better served. Maybe then the Bx7, Bx9, Bx10 would run into downtown Yonkers, the Bx41 into Mt. Vernon RR. The Bx2 should be rerouted and use VCP West and South, and go to B'Way, and run North to downtown Yonkers. Oh wait that system is funded by NYC residents, for NYC, just as the Bee-Line is funded by Westchester residents, for Westchester. |
