Posted by Edwards! on Thu Apr 19 22:12:35 2007, in response to No, The outer boros do NOT get shafted (was: Re: Whining......), posted by J trainloco on Thu Apr 19 21:38:33 2007. What the heck are you taking about?The REASON why Manhattan didn't get a SAS in the 70's wasn't OUR FAULT. It was the MTA's and the STATES fault. It was the crooked ass politicans fault... They tried to HOOKWINK the FEDS..and got BUSTED..and if it wasn't for the FEDS..the 63rd st AND ARCHER routes would have BIT THE DUST TOO! What did the MTA do for the city for YEARS AFTER IT WAS FORMED? ROB us ..STEAL from us...raise the fare though the roof time after time..and give us CRAP for service..all the while saying they were doing the best they could. Also tell me..if the MTA was a NYS company..why would it need to repair "stuff" in NEW JERSEY?..Or AT a AIRPORT it doesn't even run to? Also..Why would you build a subway section in THREE DIFFERENT PLACES..knowing that you might not have the means to complete the job? Why didnt they build the route IN ONE PLACE only..like upper Manhattan..then continue after that section was completed? Also..out of that 2.5 billion dollars the FEDS gave the MTA..why did the TA only get 600 million..? Knowing DAMN WELL that that WAS nowhere enough to complete a 3rd of the routes they planned? Heck..the 63rd st line ALONE WAS A BILLION PLUS when it was finally[if you can call it that] finished! its not about who's getting shortchanged here... ITs about BALANCED TRANSIT... The LIRR has been sticking it to us for years...over 70 percent of our rider is paid out of pocket while they pay less than 30.. The same goes for MNR.. So Ill complain all I want..untill I see some changes HERE. |
