Agreed. There are places in the five boroughs where a commuter van would be fine. Perhaps the same place where Access-a-Ride get it’s vans.

Of course. The service cuts are a drop in the ocean compared to what’s really causing the deficit, which is labor costs. This was inevitable.

It IS true that some bus cuts would be especially inappropriate, if they are bus routes that do not coincide with subway routes. In that category, of course, is the elimination even on weekends of any Manhattan crosstown bus route.

Countdown clocks? I can’t help but think that the pilot plan on the A/C uptown is going to be the modus operandi for the rest of the rollout, rather than the uber-expensive systems installed on the L/6.
