Posted by trainsarefun on Tue Dec 16 13:48:24 2008, in response to Re: onspiracy theories; Archer Avenue at 20, posted by Chris R16/R2730 on Tue Dec 16 13:19:43 2008. The MTA has found excuse after excuse to NOT run weekend and evening G service to Continental Ave. It's clearly trying to undermine the support for such service by using it's power to cancel it, forcing people to use other lines.I don't see the big deal, the idea of running G service to Forest Hills when the V didn't run was just a bone thrown to G riders when plans for V service were initially publicized. But many G riders still hate the Court Sq. x-fers and are adament about seeing any sort of G service to Forest Hills restored. Aside from the inconvenience of Crosstown Line service under Queens Blvd, the bigger issue is that on paper, Queens Blvd local stations are supposed to see two routes at all times. Now we haven't seen the two routes, and we haven't seen them run extra service of the one route that is run. MTA simply implemented a de facto service cut, for years, without the legal process being followed. Every MTA rider anywhere should be worried about that prospect: of an unaccountable agency receiving taxpayer money whose officials aren't voted on by the people, and which can fund or not fund any project as it pleases, and let's not forget, borrow huge amounts of money that eventually the taxpayers will have to pay for. |
