As far as determining where the bus stops are, all the MTA is doing is looking at Google maps and proposing to eliminate every other one. Just look at the existing and proposed B3. They are not doing any analysis. That’s why they are proposing to eliminate bus stops in front of senior centers and supermarkets. Then they look at the complaints and restore the ones with the most complaints and eliminate others they intended to keep. Bus stops with shelters are mostly high utilized stops. So why is the MTA eliminating these stops also?If you are not going to do the job correctly by only eliminating the 5% that need to be eliminated, then it doesn’t take a massive amount of time or staff to do the job. One person can do the entire job in one day. As far as ensuring that schedule data is accurate, if anything, that job is easier today than it was 40 years ago. And it up is possible that functions related to GIS data falls under the technology group, so I don’t buy your initial assumption that the functions of Operations Planning have increased so much that they need a consultant to do redesign planning. The functions may even be fewer. Many of the functions now performed by government relations used to be performed by Operations Planning when I was there. In 1981 when I was preparing my proposed route changes, the person assigned to interact with communities worked for me, not Government Relations which didn’t exist then. There was only a Public Information Department. |
