MTA Head's Daughter: Don't Cut Bus Service!

2009_01_bsander.jpg The Daily News reveals one person close to MTA CEO and executive director Elliot Sander who is no fan of the agency's proposed service cuts: His 15-year-old daughter Bria, who is a fan of the Q76 and Q79 weekend service, "to get to school plays, test prep classes and, of course, to meet friends and go shopping." Bria said, "I told him he shouldn't do it," and responding to her dad's explanation that he needs to balance the budget under law, "Whatever. He should just get the money for it. It's a big commuter system. It's cheap and it's good for the environment to ride the bus." Sing it sister! A number of bus routes will be cut or have their service reduced (for one, there's a Save the M8 campaign). The young Sander added, "The Legislature and governor should think about students who have to go to things on weekends."
