Nowadays we would call it a NIMBY incident.There was strong opposition in Jamaica, complaints that the big elevated were too noisy, too dangerous to be operating in the street. They got a court order against the BRT and rather than fight it any further, the BRT ended the service THE SAME DAY. That is, passengers who took the service in that morning couldn't take it home that night. They got transfers for trolleys up Jamaica Avenue. Spite? |
