The guy who owned the four companies Jerome Cooper was really bad in how he ran the companies. Command you are right wasn't as bad as the other three. But, they weren't good either. Jamiaca too wasn't too bad as that was his favorite system as he grew up on a JB line. Triboro was bad but none of them as bad as GB. I grew up with them and I can say this from many years experience dealing with the privates operated under Cooper since the mid-late 80s. You can ask several long time Queens bus riders and you will see I am not blowing smoke.GB had gotten new buses and they ran them into the ground. The buses weren't terrible they weren't maintained there is a difference. I usually don't side w/ the media but in fact they didn't accurately depict just how bad they were. In fact the service is SOOOOOOOOO much better since the MTA took over. But, not perfect as many drivers who are holdovers from the privates still sometimes act as if they were still private. What did suck tho is QS, NYBS, and LL did a good job in maintaining their buses, service and customer service but because Jerome Cooper et al at the 4 companies he and his company ran were incompetent those companies got screwed. What gets me is Jerome Cooper is still making $$ from the takeover as his company is renting some depots to the MTA. Varsity transit is a school bus company he owns. |
