    Well of course Bronx would get more articulated routes and Bx35 so far is getting them not Bx11, plus they could interline.

    Bx28 need artics because it's more demanding then Bx30 and it would be the only route on Gun Hill Rd and until it reaches Co-op City. Also to help the Subway riders.

    The Bx11 would have to be realigned past Grant. Shakespeare, 168 and Plimpton are extremely narrow.

  2. Or focus on providing adequate service levels and not lying to your customers. Fare beating is a joke and it’s not the cause of money loss or the decrease in ridership. Why pay for something that does not help me but I already paid for it ?? 

    Everybody plays on the same points but none come from the Neighborhood that are effected by this. I would not expect non New Yorkers or a suburban Neighborhood like Riverdale or Queens to get it because they never will.

    Your exact words above, for anyone who missed them.

    The last sentence gave it away, in my estimation, since you're attempting to justify  why people wouldn't pay.

    Couple that with your second sentence, where it appears you're injecting your own experience. Why else would you just off-handedly "make-up" a scenario such as that when nobody else in the thread related some such personal experience?

    Hey, if you pay all the time, you got nothing to take offense to. But judging by your reaction (and more importantly, your wording in the original post), I'm smelling something different. And it appeared I wasn't the only one. (Make sure you also consider all the other forum members who might have not chimed-in like I did as well.)

    Since you're new here, I'll cut you some slack. But it doesn't make any diff to me whether you're a n00b or a senior, if I smell bullshit (and my very experienced nose with all of its years of mileage can get it in not even a half-whiff), I'll call it and let the chips fall where they do.

    Yeah your right about one thing I’m not offended one bit, I don’t justify anything I also don’t turn a blind eye to the issues of why people fare beat. Most real New Yorkers don’t care for this 2 bit ran system of fat cats soaking up all the money then crying murder. I don’t follow the smoke I rather see where it starts at which is the Top, Not new to anything when dealing with the MTA or New York period.

    OK, so I guess you also shoplift from stores, right? "I don't think that should be $8.00! I buy enough stuff from here regularly, I'm entitled to take this because this price is just unfair." Except that people who actually think that have MADE that product carry that $8.00 price tag because of people stealing. See it for real: Walk into a Walgreens/Duane Reade -- "corporate" policy lets anyone steal and walk away scot-free, while prices get raised/stores closed -- and everyone else pays the higher prices. From January 2018 in Manhattan:

    So if you can't get proper service and you're late in the future because the MTA cuts service, you only have yourself to blame.

    What ??? If the store does not have what I want the only opinion go to another store. I can’t pick another system beside the MTA within New York City so I understand why it happens, Did you read before you Quoted me ?

    It’s like TSA - it’s the appearance of doing something meaningful so 1) folks shut up/get off their backs and 2) was easier and cheaper than doing something comprehensively better.

    If you had good service or actually showed effort people would pay the fare. If I’m late 3 out of 5 days I work because of a lackluster system I would be reluctant to pay. Not saying it’s right I’m just looking at the real issue at hand.
