THE COMMUTE: The MTA is proposing Select Bus Service (SBS) on the B46 Utica Avenue bus route scheduled for autumn implementation this year. It was scheduled for discussion at the MTA Transit Committee meeting this past May 18. The information is provided on the ‘Staff Summary,’ on pages 133 to 138 of the agenda. Community meetings have already been held.

Here are some questions for the MTA regarding the proposed B46 SBS:

The flaws of SBS are adequately demonstrated by the list of questions you post here.

I agree. As much as I love New Flyer C40s, I think it would be absolutely terrible to run a retired 2000 New Flyer C40LF on the B46 SBS.

Ok, into serious mode.

I agree with your 10th point, that once again people who would potentially most benefit from SBS, that is those people who live near the extreme ends of the route, will again have life made needlessly more difficult for them, if they get to use SBS at all.

1. Because there is Federal money, but it has time limits
3. Facts don't lie, but liars can figure
5. That was just what they said to sell the program

Just for the hell of it, I submitted these questions to the MTA's e-mail system.

I clearly submitted 10 questions so why does the response say "suggestions"?

I just received the following response:

This is in response to your most recent e-mail.

We will continue to forward copies of your suggestions to our planning department for review and consideration. However, it is important to understand that we cannot specifically respond to individual suggestions from our customers regarding service modifications and new bus routes.

Thank you for your continued interest in MTA New York City Transit and the MTA Bus Company.

Because this is almost certainly boilerplate. Were you born yesterday?

Because they know you and maybe they are ignoring you, based on your history of ridiculousness.

It's boilerplate for suggestions. However you and the MTA do not know the difference between a suggestion and a question.

I'm pretty sure it's boilerplate that they send out for all feedback. Do you really think they sit and evaluate whether your feedback is a question or a suggestion before they pick a boilerplate response?
