I agree and when the takeover happened I was annoyed at all 7 seven being taken over.I think but can be wrong that it was said they couldn't take over just the four that needed it. If it was up to me, I would have had them just take the 4 companies over. The other three were great. But, TBH I am not sorry the takeover happened as now many riders have good service compared to the sh*t Cooper provided. I think the fare thing was to make everything uniform which is not always a bad idea, but I think the subsidy hike is not efficient and agree the MTA should be more efficient I was not disputing that part of your comments. Cooper did receive 4 x the subsidy as each of the other 3 companies since he had 4 companies. Which, actually make it worse that he didn't maintain the buses and did not provide service (the service TBH he did provide really doesn't deserve to be called service - sorry) as if he was efficent and pooled the resources he could have made a profit. When the takeover happened I remember a DOT rep at a local community meeting saying the subsidy rates for each company was the same. It wasn't a set amount in $$ but a % of the entire pot based on the amount of routes and size of each company which means Cooper received 47% of the pot if my math is ok. |
