[This is ludicrous, we need to bring back Command Bus Company.] Command Bus would simply run however much service they wanted to regardless of actual usage, then bill DOT for that cost plus a guaranteed 6% profit. The more they spent, the more guaranteed profit they'd get - in other words, they had a vested interest in being as inefficient as possible. |

Weekday off peak frequency reductions < 60min should be a last resort. If they want to save $$, eliminate the Saturday first. Less midday service might reduce rush hour ridership who likes to have a contingency in case they have to leave work early/late. |

You have your opinion & I have mine, I will not agree with you and unless you have actually ridden these lines, then I would not expect you to understand. |
