I agree that claiming a line is somehow "obsolete" or "underutilized" is usually part of a plan to set the line up for abandonment.In many cases, the MTA or its predecessors did all they could to MAKE the service unpopular, then justify abandonment. During some of those eras, times were tough as they are now, and I'm sure MTA (or TA or BOT) didn't really want to cut service for th sake of doing so, but feet they had no choice, but still couldn't politically get away with immediate abandonment, so they'd set a line up to fail over a period of 10-15 years. |
