It should already be known that the the cost of installing the turnstiles on the SIR would exceed the amount of money generated from ridership.No, it wouldn't. Maybe it wouldn't recoup in a day. Or even a year. But it would eventually recoup. Your opinions don't equal fact. Staten Island has problems just like Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx, so I fail to see your point. Often on a far smaller scale. A great example of stupid complaining was the whiners who got Fresh Kills shut down without a suitable alternative in place. Queens had traffic problems on Queens Blvd, the people complained and the DOT attempted to fix it. Staten Island has various traffic problems, they complain and the DOT is in the process of solving some of these problems. East Side Commuters complained about the lack of subway service, the MTA pushed for the Second Avenue Subway. North Shore commuters complained about the crowded and infrequent buses during rush hours, the MTA and the City are putting the North Shore Line under planning. The issue is that the problems in other boros are often greater than the problems in SI. There's a good reason for that too. |
