The MTA wants my opnion?
The MTA is doing a "rider survey" along the #7 line. The survey is, of course, garbage, but as long as it comes in a "Business Reply Mail" fold-over card, they're going to get my opinion, whether they really want it or not.
I enclosed the following letter. Feel free to write your own when you get your "survey."
Mr. Lawrence G. Reuter
President
MTA New York City Transit
370 Jay Street
Brooklyn, NY 11201-5190Dear Mr. Reuter:
Whenever anyone asks for my opinion, but doesn’t appear to want my real opinion, they do a “survey.†Invariably and inevitably, the survey doesn’t ask the questions that need to be answered; it’s a function of the necessity of compiling the results into a manageable database. This letter certainly won’t go into a database, but I hope it will give you a better idea of the real problems along the #7 subway line.
First of all, not everyone rides the subway during rush hours. The survey should be just as easily available to those of us who avoid the rush hour like the plague.
