You are partially right. But the number is 1,000 not 500. They seem to regard 1,000 or more as a magic number, maybe because it has three digits. You know this when you read any of the analyses they do.When they discontinued the B18, 500 daily bus passengers no longer had access to a bus route. They considered that number too low to keep the route. When they want a small number to sound like a big number, they will express it in annual numbers rather than daily or per trip so the number is over 1,000. As far as meetings with the MTA, I've had many. They know who I am. Here is what I was told privately. "You don't dictate how we plan. We do the planning." |
