When they finally conceded it was feasible for the IND-BMT, they still maintained for a number of years that it was infeasible for the IRT until they were proven wrong.New technology allowed it. remember just before one of the last trolleys stopped operating (Church Avenue) , the posters said that starting the following week the line will be "improved" with bus service. Not only wasn't there an "improvement," we didn't even get new buses, just some old, noisy, rickety ones in need of a paint job that were in worse condition than the PCCs they replaced. Yes, it is a travesty all around the country, but that had to do more with FORD I believe or General Motors in the fiasco of replacing streetcars with rubber tired buses. |
