"As a whole" is like saying "here a loaf of bread..you can only take a slice..save the rest for the others..."Brooklyn contributes more than the rest of the city towards subway fare..and get little back.. Sure ,we've had improvements here and there..only because they were needed...and they didn't have much choice about fixing the faculites..or would you have rather seen them let them collasp to the ground or crumble apart? would you rather see a repeat of the late 60..early 70's when the TA decided they didn't need a particular strech of route anymore and tore them down replacing it with bus service that was far worse that the train it replaced? Queens didn't deserve the crappy hand it was dealt..and if the city of NY had the balls,they would have corrected the problem a long time ago.Moved the NIMBYS right out of the way..or paid them off..SOMETHING! First and formost...new line ARE needed here..to reach nabs that suffer from lack of rail service.. New connections are needed here..to better distrubute riders thur out the boro... While you[and others]may disagree with me..it matter little due to the fact that most of you don't live here..and others are "just passing thur" for work,or some other matter. The MTA has failed in serving its riding public..and the last thing we need is a "mouth piece" praising them for some that is their responsiblity in the first place... More to the point..they don't OWN the subways..they RENT them..and should they continue FAILING at what they were appointed to do..they should be FIRED..LEASE TERMINATED..and an authority formed that WILL do what is right for the riders. These little drops in the bucket will help some..but not others.. Such as the money spent of the LIRR route.. SAS as planned..and the 7 extention.. None of these lines will serve well enough to really make some sort of grand impact on ridership with the exception of the SAS... You REALLY want to help? Push for the SECOND SYSTEM..or its equvelent..by measure..and we 'll see some improvements...or push new routes into the so called wastelands of the city in Queens /Bronx/Brooklyn Staten Island.. Then we can say that they are doing something great for us.... Thats my piece. |
