mark1447 Posted January 7, 2012 Share #2 Posted January 7, 2012 Saw it. Hope for the best, but I don't know what could happen in the future. With just $2 million, it isn't enough to run a system like that. With the MTA they've been paying $10 million, but a$$ Mangano decides to pay way less with Veolia, wow.... He needs to be out!!

N6 Limited Posted January 7, 2012 Share #3 Posted January 7, 2012 Good interview, too bad it couldn't be longer. The Journalist did some research, asked real questions, and Setzer answered them well. Though, he essentially said the MTA didn't have traffic checkers when in fact I've seen them on the N6 before, (once with MTA/LIB a few years ago, once with Violia checkers during the transition last month.) but I doubt the MTA used them much on LIB or they would have made better scheduling choices. They probably just relied on MetroCard data to get an idea of ridership. Saw it. Hope for the best, but I don't know what could happen in the future. With just $2 million, it isn't enough to run a system like that. With the MTA they've been paying $10 million, but a$$ Mangano decides to pay way less with Veolia, wow.... He needs to be out!! I think the story is that Violia told the county they could do it with $2 million to get the bid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do realize veolia's budget is $102 million right? The $2 million is not the only source of funding NICE gets. check their website you will know what I mean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

User Posted January 7, 2012 Share #7 Posted January 7, 2012 Almost all of the service notices throughout last year posted on Long Island Buses were graffitied by people, saying to vote Democrat or just to vote Mangano out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N6 Limited Posted January 7, 2012 Share #10 Posted January 7, 2012 Well Veolia runs other transit systems across the world. The $2 million is just the subsidy that Nassau County is giving Violia to run NICE Bus, they get funding from other sources such as Fares, ads, etc. Veolia's other transit systems have their own operating budgets and funding sources.

That's still not enough funding. The MTA still came out on top every time the metrocard is swiped they make $1.75 Veolia makes $.50. They are going to need more funding. And Nassau is still using there terminals such as Jamaica 165th, Mineola and all the other LIRR stations. Nassau still has to pay them for that. Either way he is still paying MTA money. So in the end Mangano still lose! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So in the end Mangano still lose! That's actually $0.0175 (less than $0.02). It's sort of like a royalty for the use of a MetroCard. I still don't know how transfers work. I guess they split the cost evenly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MTA still came out on top every time the metrocard is swiped they make $1.75 Veolia makes $.50. They are going to need more funding. Ok they are paying MTA money, what's there other option? Did you take into account how much it would have cost to replace all of the fare boxes? I'm sure Veolia did. And Nassau is still using there terminals such as Jamaica 165th, Mineola and all the other LIRR stations. Nassau still has to pay them for that. Either way he is still paying MTA money. So in the end Mangano still lose! Actually I think the people who ride LIB/NICE bus to and from Queens won. and all the other LIRR stations. Nassau still has to pay them for that. ...and SCT stops at LIRR station, what's your point? Can you tell me how much if anything Veolia has to pay the MTA to stop at LIRR stations?

Burrstone Posted January 8, 2012 Author Share #18 Posted January 8, 2012 So you think the came out on top because Veolia is leasing fare boxes from the as opposed spending the money of buying new fare boxes? As far as Veolia using metrocards, based on the posts here it seems Veolia gave the people what they wanted. Veolia and NICE is run by very compitent business people who have decades of experience running transportation systems, if they made the decision I PERSONALLY feel it was probably the best decision. I highly doubt they were taken advantage of by the . I also highly doubt Veolia would give away 78% of its fare to the to use the metrocard as you suggested! As far as the stops at the LIRR stations and other properties is the coming out ob top over on Suffolk County who also uses LIRR stations? Again I ask you can you provide me with what the fee is (if any) for a another transit agency to stop at a LIRR station? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burrstone Posted January 9, 2012 Author Share #20 Posted January 9, 2012 Who cares! This was a business decision made by Veolia, it's about business. Veolia leasing the fare boxes was the best option for Veolia, and probably a lot cheaper than buying new fare boxes. It's about making the best business decisions, and decisions that your customers want, not getting one over on the or turning their back on the . These two needed to work with each other the past few months. It's about business not this childish pissing match you have in your head, do you understand that (prob not)?

qjtransitmaster Posted January 14, 2012 Share #24 Posted January 14, 2012 Both Mangano and Schmitt needs to be out and never in contact with the Nassau Gov't. Also, they should cut the friggin school board's funding by a chunkful, like executive-sized pay for a friggin school board administrator, it's crazy! I really feel that it's not just about political party, it's about individuals! most brilliant post I've read here you are the smartmaster.
