Hand over HBLR to PANYNJ?I'm not even sure what such a handover would amount to, given DBOM. I think with HBLR via Bayonne Bridge I view that as politically infeasible, for the reasons given in my prior post. you could restructure the express bus system so that it's not as complex and costly to operate. I really don't see that happening. It's a political thing. Most of the costs are relatively pegged: labor, buses, fuel. You can try cutting at the edges, on off peak runs and so forth; expect to be fought to the death though. But the point is that most, if not all, of the express buses operated are still bleeding money. Isn't that why MTA keeps putting off the NYCT takeover of the X23/24 routes from NYCDOT via Atlantic Express? The only real way to change the situation is to spike the fares to kill the service. |
