MTA Doomsday 2.5 – Fixing Yesterday’s Story
On Friday morning, I published a story detailing the transit service cuts, based on the plan the MTA adopted last month. On Friday afternoon, the MTA released a revised plan. Oops. If I knew that was going to happen, I would have waited a day or two before publishing.
Go back to the original story – I have made all of the appropriate updates. The biggest changes are the number of shortened routes (i.e. no more B4 in Sheepshead Bay). I was a little shocked – the last month’s tweaking and fine tuning was supposed to make things slightly better. But with all of the shortened and shifted routes, I actually think South Brooklyn got hosed.

Yes, Brooklyn did get hosed. Just a little addition will tell you that. $19.5 million in cuts to Brooklyn buses and $17.5 million in cuts for NYC Subways. Agree wit hyou about the subsidy cuts, but you are letting the MTA off far too easy. Their methodology in deciding the cuts is flawed and sloppy.
