Its always easy to say those things when you arent in somebody else's postion...That's true, but there are only so many options. Here, they are: 1. Raise fares - this hurts farepayers. 2. Increase subsidies - this hurts taxpayers, and moreover, it's not a realistic option at the present time. 3. Cut service - this hurts farepayers and employees. 4. Lower wages/layoff employees - this hurts employees. TMP naturally opposes (4). Option (2) is off the table. And farepayers like Mr. AEM-7AC #901 oppose (1). MTA ordered MNCR to reduce their budget, so what else is left to do? Personally, I think that the MNCR cuts aren't much to complain about. NYCT riders will get hit a lot harder by the revision of the loading guidelines, e.g., midday 7 trains are operating SRO at 12 tph, so it's not going to be pretty with less trains. |
