Although I said I wasn't going to argue this any more, I feel that I should address this point:yes the majority does [want Manhattan service] but that does not mean that the minority doesn't. If you design a transit system based on giving preferential treatment to the few who would benefit from something rather than the majority of people who would not, you're not getting anywhere. Case in point: I'd love it if the MTA instituted a bus line serving my block, with a stop in front of my house, serving the destinations I'd want to go to. I'm sure several of my neighbors would benefit from it as well. But the majority of bus riders in the city would have little or no use for this bus line, and it would actually be detrimental to them as money would be going toward my bus line rather than to the "real" lines. "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few." Plus, you can always transfer at Court Square. |
