One is the "safety" argument for keeping staff around. As has been proven, MTA employees have no obligation to help people being victimized. A help point would allow a bystander to have access to call the same help that a station agent could call for. Additionally, having more cameras would help things too.The other point I disagree with is your stance on buses. I don't think it's the MTA's mission to try and provide everyone with a direct ride to as many points as possible. They need to allocate their assets in the most efficient way possible. If that means abandoning some bus routes to improve others, then that's what MTA should do, unless MTA is going to either raise fares to a level that will support these under-used routes, or receive a guaranteed subsidy to cover these costs. |
