Sorry we will have to agree to disagree.

5 Years before the MTA took over they were given brand new buses and guess what? Within 2 years they started having issues. The fact of the matter is Cooper did not maintain his fleet. Cooper had the same subsidy for his four companies as Queens Surface, Liberty Lines and NY Bus Service. How come they had far better service and a fleet of buses that were in much better shape?? Because they used the $$ they did get right and maintained their fleet whereas Cooper did not.

I agree NYC DOT could have done better too, I am not as I said in previous posts placing the entire blame on Cooper as NYC DOT did have a hand in it, but Cooper does deserve 98% of the blame.

Sorry not apples and oranges. I still say kudos to the city and MTA for fixing a problem that needed fixing.
