The MTA could have cut back on express buses if cash was really tight and if it actually knew how to prioritize.Express bus runs are the holy cows of transit, I often think. I doubt that they would be cut, even routes like X51 and X68 in Queens. Of course, the last brilliant fare hike was hugely generous to express bus customers. And, one might add, that the Bloomberg Plan involved a huge expansion in express bus operations. But IMO, the MTA should have gone after bigger projects to possibly force the congestion pricing issue again.. ESA and SAS really should have been two of the highest priorities, but that's not the way that it worked out. I would rather see MTA focus on the few most important projects rather than work on a mix of very important and less important (e.g., South Ferry, Fulton St Transit Center, Javits Center Extension). |
