But what do you expect Jay Walder and the MTA to do, though? They offered a "grace period" to give Nassau time to start paying its dues. When Nassau told the MTA where they could put that proposal, the authority then offered a reduction plan to keep as much service as possible. Mangano scoffed at that and kept up with plans for privatization.Short of continuing to cover Nassau's portion of the subsidy for the service, there's nothing that MTA can do to "save LI Bus". All they can (and should) do is work with Nassau county to make the transition as seamless as possible. |
