Posted by Terrapin Station on Tue Nov 22 18:03:43 2011, in response to Re: How the MTA is Destroying the Local Bus System, posted by Osmosis Jones on Tue Nov 22 17:32:52 2011. He mentioned "Master Armchair Planners" in his post, implying that he does know of his history of being a bus planner. Yes, but everything else he said implies that he doesn't know anything more than that (and he also implied things that plainly aren't true). I see, I get where you're coming from there. Thank you. I recently asked him why the B36 has never been extended to Kings Plaza. He told me the local merchants opposed the change because they feared it would cause them to lose business, and upon further research, a hearing was held on the extension at one point, and the idea was soon put off the table afterwards, strongly implying that he was correct. That's a simple, "easily" verifiable fact. The hearing documents could be examined. But can he be trusted to use knowledge like this to come to logical conclusions? If this is true, it isn't good, but it seems like most people disagreeing with him or point out his factual inaccuracies are attacking him and not doing so constructively and encouraging him to do a better job at checking over those inaccuracies. Many people are fed up with his refusal to take criticism. This isn't a new thing. His ideas have been shot down here for years. All he says is that he simply retired. You said that he left on unfavorable terms (with his bosses I'm assuming), and I'm trying to find evidence to see if that's true. Ok, I misspoke. What I should have said was that he left Planning on unfavorable terms (he says he was transferred) and that he was only in Planning for less than two years. He remained at NYCT for longer, but in other departments apparently not directly related to the stuff he posts about here. So the question is - why was he only there for less than two years? If he knows so much, why was he transferred out? I see where you're getting at, yes I guess the possibility does exist that there could be sour grapes involved with his opinions posted here and on the Bites website if true. Thank you. So now you should be able to see why there are doubts related to BrooklynBus's analyses and conclusions and why Edwards' post was almost completely wrong. |
