Checking The Routes

Checking The Routes 06-03-10
On this morning reps from the Manhattan Division went out to monitor the lines at 79th St. and Columbus Ave. What we found, was buses on the M11 and M7 averaging 20 minutes late, and overcrowded. The M79 on the other hand was on time or close to schedule. The MTA makes sure that certain lines aren't affected while the neighborhoods that need the service the most are cut daily. Go figure! Most of the overcrowding that has been occurring in the Department of Buses has been related to Managements desires to plug budget woes by keeping chosen runs in the depot, in which the Union feels is a major violation of the publics trust!
