Posted by Jackson Park B Train on Thu Aug 25 00:16:54 2016, in response to Re: November 6, 2016 B Division Pick N short-turns to 96th, W part of N, posted by Michael549 on Wed Aug 24 21:34:24 2016. First, I regret you found my word use problematic. Second, IIRC "not out" was the Muni "term of art" for a run which never left the barn. As to the "dailies", this was an off again on again struggle w/Muni mgmt. At a particular Rescue Muni mtg w/the Executive Director (Mr Burns, LOL) I was the one who asked for them and he agreed to have it done. When he was replaced, I was cut off, no reason given--the emails simply ceased. Yet another change at the top, not only did I start getting them, but they were posted on Muni's website. I should note that the formats, the actual data, level of detail varied widely over the years. More recently I was again cut off and the reports have disappeared from the website.A couple of months ago, I purged what I thought was my entire archive; turns out I still have a very random selection probably mis filed by me on receipt. And at least the two I have looked at do not use "not out" So much for my memory. So, trying to make this more comprehensible, I meant to convey, that I believe that a transit agency should roster enough T/Os, or Bus/Os such that the scheduled service can be run. Some years the Muni dailies had a chart of absenteeism by division(barn) detailing sick, planned vacation, unplanned, other. Some years they reported runs covered by RDO OT, other years they did not. The reports had begun as an early morning heads up for top management, later as they became public documents muchless actual information was presented. So some years I could see that a given route which required say 5 coaches for the whole service in AM rush had 2 missing--really sucked for either school or job attendance. At other times we got a detailed summary of which sub-system failures were sidelining how many LRVs, or class of buses. I hope this makes more of this clear. |
