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.You are getting somewhere, the majority gets their service, and the minority gets their service too, everyone is happy. ::sigh:: That's not what I said. Let me restate it. 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 be disadvantaged, you're not getting anywhere. At least the bus service never existed and isn't being taken away from you for some bulls*** reasons. I'd call the reasons legitimate. And you can always transfer at Court Square -- it really isn't that difficult! The (G) is not the "few" though, it's just the minority, also the Court Square-Ely Avenue transfer is hell, especially during the rush when the staircases are all clogged up. So use the 7, or transfer at Metro/Grand for the L, or even take the G in the other direction and transfer at Hoyt/Schermerhorn for the A or C. There are other options available. Besides, if you're transferring at Court Square/23rd/Ely Avenue, then why would you be taking the G further into Queens anyway? You're arguing for G service between Forest Hills and Court Square, but you say that most people want Manhattan and that they transfer at Court Square. That sounds like there isn't much use for the line after Court Square (or Queens Plaza, if you want to stretch it.) |
