Comments on: MTA’s Walder Meets the Press http://blog.tstc.org/2009/10/22/mtas-walder-meets-the-press/ News and opinion from the Tri-State Transportation Campaign Sun, 21 Mar 2010 13:08:09 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: ggg http://blog.tstc.org/2009/10/22/mtas-walder-meets-the-press/comment-page-1/#comment-3894 ggg Tue, 02 Mar 2010 04:33:40 +0000 http://blog.tstc.org/?p=7112#comment-3894 How nice? New fare system, lower fares and getting rid of the 'W', 'M' and shortening the G line. In addition, some bus lines will be eliminated. In short, look for higher fares not lower fares and waiting longer for trains and buses. Good luck waiting for the 'W' and the 'M' train starting this summer. How nice?

For those who think that streetcars hurt downtowns, I suggest they take a trip to Zurich, Switzerland where the most prestigious street - Bahnhofstrasse, is also one of the heaviest streetcar lines. Streetcars cost less to operate. A streetcar lane is more enforceable and carries more people.

He just lost the vote of virtually every state and city politician. I can't wait to see how everyone is now going to villify the MTA for promoting public transit over driving. But if the news media sticks with Walder through the first crop of positive results, he may have a chance. “My point is, if we have to make a choice, make the choice for the bus, not for the car.”

Also, nothing he talked about in the bus piece is under the MTA's control.
