If I know nothing about the things I talk about, why is it that 2/3 of the comments about these articles on this and other forums are favorable? Isn't that the standard that the MTA has been employing in their satisfaction surveys, that if more than half are satisfied, they are doing a great job? I've already had three people today say they agree with 100% of what I said in this series.Many people who have intimate knowledge about bus routes do not believe the B44 will be a success. However, the MTA will collect and distort data to show that it is by selectively choosing what o present as they always do. Don't you think it is strange that when they showed over 50% of bus riders are satisfied with service they neglected to do a breakdown for rush hour and non-rush hour riders? Could it be they did the breakdown but only 38% during non-rush hours were satisfied and that number would have increased pressure to increase off-peak service? Do you think it was coincidental that for LIRR passengers, they did decide to show a peak off-peak breakdown, it showed that riders were more satisfied with off-peak service than with peak service? And for your information, I have always been a proponent for more light rail, so don't think you know everything there is to know about me. I've never argued that the SBS routes implemented thus far have not been a success. What I have repeatedly stated is that the data the MTA has presented does not show they have been a success. You are reading what you want to read. |
