Trainmaster5 Posted July 23, 2011 Share #103 Posted July 23, 2011 Go to: http://www.sheepsheadbites.com/2011/07/the-real-reasons-jay-walder-resigned/ Very good column Brooklyn Bus. I'd just like to add that I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Gunn a few times (20+) in my time down under and it was always a pleasant encounter. Perhaps Mr. Gunn or Mr. Sander would make a good replacement candidate, politics aside? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted July 23, 2011 Share #104 Posted July 23, 2011 Can Gunn survive the political crap at his age? I'd like to see him in charge again, but I have concerns about his age. As a consultant, he would be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Via Garibaldi 8 Posted July 23, 2011 Share #106 Posted July 23, 2011 I agree. I don't think either of them would want the headache. A few questions... Could the governor appoint someone from the inside? I would personally like to see someone from the outer boroughs take over like Alan Cappelli. I don't know how well he understands transit, but he certainly understands the difficult commutes that folks in the outer boroughs have and he has spoken out on numerous occasions about cuts made to transit in the outer boroughs, (i.e. cut backs on the S79). It may sound like a minor thing but it would be great if we could get someone in office that finally gives equal attention to the outer boroughs and Manhattan and not just Manhattan.

RTOMan Posted July 23, 2011 Share #107 Posted July 23, 2011 Union workers hate it when they get a boss who remembers that he's in charge, not them.---- Dear TWU, you got what you wanted, here's hoping the next guy is even worse. Cheers! Since when do you speak for Union workers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urbanfortitude Posted July 23, 2011 Share #109 Posted July 23, 2011 Besides that why would anyone want the next chairman to be worse? It's not just the union workers who are affected by someone like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, I remember hearing that Walder grew up somewhere in the Rockaways, but I don't think that affected his decision to cut back service in the outer boroughs. I think any head of the MTA will most likely take the word of Operations Planning that the cuts won't affect to many people (relative to the amount of money saved). But who knows: Maybe a head from the outer boroughs would scrutinize the cuts a little bit more and get rid of the worst ones (Q79, B4, etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But who knows: Maybe a head from the outer boroughs would scrutinize the cuts a little bit more and get rid of the worst ones (Q79, B4, etc) I should've elaborated a bit more... I meant someone from the outerboroughs who grew up understanding and knowing what folks in the outerboroughs deal with. I doubt Walder relied on public transportation to get around. Cappelli is far more understanding of the problems that the outerboroughs face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortline Bus Posted July 23, 2011 Share #114 Posted July 23, 2011 My guess is that Cuomo may appoint someone again from the real estate or biz industry. During last year (2010)campaign he offered very little plans on addressing the fiscal crisis. Thus this pick will say alot on the Gov.'s vision for mass transit in both metro NYC and the state.

Cappelli is far more understanding of the problems that the outerboroughs face. But I doubt it would make much of a difference, though. For example, Lee Sander's daughter relied on the Q76, but that didn't stop him from trying to eliminate weekend service. For example, you know what I would do if I were head of the MTA, and this is coming from somebody who's commute is 90 minutes each way (though, admittedly, there are some improvements I would like to see that would end up helping me out, but they're based on ridership and coverage rather than personal reasons) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
