White Plains decision makers must be beyond shame and embarrassment. What the heck can they even pretend is the benefit to White Plains?
The county executive and county legislators have been doing this for years about their ridiculous Bee-Line bus system that pretty much all of them and their primary constituents avoid like the plague. The county website claims 30 million passengers per year for its $115 million spent per year. Name them. Has any county legislator ever looked into the efficiency of this bus system? Any county executive? Any local media? Ever?
Then there's the regional buses, also with almost no passengers.
One thing these huge buses and private cars have in common: hardly any passengers. What an incredible waste of resources.
How many people pay $30,000 for a personal car only to leave it parked at the train station for ten hours a day, five days a week. And that's probably less wasteful that the various buses. And supporting this are government funds for road maintenance and the ugly and ubiquitous parking garages, which can never have enough spaces.
