I am not taking what Gunn said as gospel.I know that prior to Gunn there were no traffic checkers in Surface. What Surface had before Gunn were dispatchers who stood on street corners and noted times buses woud pass by. They did not count passengers on board the buses. It was also widely known that often the times noted we're te scheduled times buses were supposed to arrive, not the actual times they did arrive. This made the dispatchers look like they were doing a better job than they actually did. I do not know what happened in Subways. The month he arrived, he told me he was hiring traffic checkers to ride the bus, and the next month he did that. Surface planning and schedule makers did not shift to Operations Planning when Gunn came on board. I already told you the bus planners were shifted to Rapid Transit Operations Planning in November 1981, over two years before Gunn arrived. I am dead sure of the date because I was one of those planners and the reason why the planners were moved. Shortly after the shift, the name of the department was shortened to Operations Planning and actually it wasn't even a department but a sub-department or a division. The department was called "Planning and Budget". The bus scheduling section was shifted several years later and could have coincided with Gunn's appointment or happened in 1986 but I think it was before then. |
