Posted by Michael549 on Mon Feb 8 22:17:21 2010, in response to Re: Essex-Delancey Station, posted by Spider-Pig on Mon Feb 8 17:27:14 2010. From a previous message: "There's a huge difference between a person who loses their direct trip from Bay Parkway to Fulton Street and Nassau, or from Metro to same, but quite another when a person selfishly complains about an increased wait time of an average of 2-3 minutes and the inability to get a seat for a few stops.It's one thing when train service changes adding some time to your trip, it's quite another when you're complaining about it no longer being your own personal limousine service." In looking at the whole scope of the MTA's planned changes, service cuts and eliminations - a variety of different people who will be affected by those service cuts, changes and eliminations. Some folks maybe affected more than other folk. This means that some folks will be mildly upset with the changes, and some folk very upset, and other folk very, very upset or angry about the service changes, service cuts or eliminations. All of these folks have a right to their feelings about this situation. After a while I just think it is fruit-less and a waste of time to try to convince someone who has repeatedly expressed the idea that they are angry about how those changes, cuts and service eliminations affects them personally, to try to convince that same person that one of those changes will be a benefit to other people. Some folks are going to be upset or angry about the service cuts, changes and eliminations that the MTA is making, and they have a right to feel that way. It is not selfishness or about being petty to have a reaction to what the MTA is doing. There is no requirement to be happy about any part of the service changes, cuts or eliminations. Again, these are just my thoughts. In my own case, bus service that helps me is going to be cut by a third. A bus line that is useful to me will be diverted a good distance away. For me, this means my chances of getting to the ferry terminal to make a particular boat is reduced since there will be less service. For someone to try and tell me - "well its just a small change there's nothing to it" is a bit dis-respectful. Just like anyone else, I have a right to my thoughts about the situation, and I don't deny that right to others. Again, there is no requirement for anyone to be happy about those changes, cuts and service eliminations. Some folks will find that the changes, cuts and eliminations might not affect their journeys a great deal, while others may have a more difficult trip or be affected in a greater way. In the past various folks have expressed their thoughts about the various changes that have occurred, and even their anger about what they felt affected them. I just feel it is not my place to say to someone, "well you should not be upset about that", and similar statements. It is as if I would be making a judgment about somebody else's situation, when all that I really know about is my own situation. Again, just my thoughts. Mike |
