MTA hearing

I went to a MTA hearing last night to voice my idea to save the Q74 bus which runs in KGH. It is slated to be completely cut. After listening to countless politicians speak and speak and say the same things then the public got to speak. Also mostly the same concerns. Don't put a tollon teh cross bay bridge for rockaway residents, don't cut this bus route etc. Then came my turn to spak and I had a common sense plan to combine 2 bus routes. It looked like some of the panel actually took notice. 1 board member actually took out the bus map while I was speaking to follow along. Then on the bus ride home I was speaking to a man who was at hte hearing(I could tell by the booklet we both had) he turns out to be a bus driver on a route I mentioned about combining, and he thought it was a good idea too. He said he has ins with the union and will present it to them too. Who knows your sister and aunt might be the next Norma Rae!
