Agreed. Some buffs don't quite have a realistic picture of what it takes to run a transit system. An example is that many of us are big Flxible Metro fans. I know of at least one person who have WMATA keep there's on the streets as much as possible. Basically, he's ignoring the fact that as buses age they become increasingly unreliable. So basically if he was in a position to hand out buses, he'd probably have all of his bus buff favorites out and about and the newer stuff in the house. Also since I have a few transit professional friends at Montgomery County, Ride-On, DASH (Alexandria, VA), PRTC (Prince William County, VA) and Baltimore MTA I'm able to learn a lot from them.I understand the enjoyment you have with helping those in need and sharing info. with buff and I appreciate it. I also imagine that major big city outfits like NYCTA, WMATA, CTA, MBTA and so on must have loads of politics, which IMO is never a good thing. This stuff can easily make an eager employee with good ideas sort of keep to him/herself and just do their time. One good thing about us transit buffs is that when things go wrong, we tend to understand that it's not the B/O or T/O's fault. I'm often not in agreeemnt with TD, but I think at one point some years ago it was he who used to say something like "Just because you had a train-set at 7 yrs old doesn't mean you're qualified to operate a railroad". This is so true. TD, if this wasn't you or I misquoted, you have my apology. |
