Long overdue

Cheap buses have been blocking the advancement of NYCT buses. There is no question that they are a hazard. They are parked at angles making it tough to navigate thru the winding streets of chinatown and elsewhere.

It creates its dynamic effect where you have travelers with their luggage and relatives who are there for the send off cluttering the roadway with their cars parked in maze like fashion. It is also accurate that the megabus and boltbus completely block 33rd street between 7th and 8th avenue. If you are caught behind either of those buses then you have nowhere to go except observe the minutes in wristwatch go by.

That causes delay of service to the waiting customers along the route, who are angry at the bus operator who has no fault. In comparison the cheap buses that are at chinatown are more dangerous - they move at their own whim and are more brazen than the ones on 33 street. It is time that there should be some order, time for TWU Local 100 to play a pivotal role to ensure that bus operators advice are taken into consideration. TWU Local 100 has a major stake in this issue however John Samuelsen may be asleep at the switch.
