There is a lack of perspective here, and I really can't understand the hysteria about the Bx12 Select. <br /><br />Anyone who ever rode the old Bx12 Limited knew there were tons of people boarding through the back door at Fordham Plaza, White Plains Road, and Pelham Bay. Often I had mixed feelings about it, since it did make the bus leave more quickly. Then again, I also remember coming back from the beach and getting the Bx12 at Pelham Bay one time, when I almost didn't get on even though I was sixth in line. The bus filled that quickly (for free) through the rear door!<br /><br />People were cheating before. They're cheating now. At least the bus is running faster.<br /><br />(Plus, I suspect the enforcement is easier for the police now they can screen everyone on the bus at once, instead of riding around trying to catch people individually as they got on.)Jay Shuffieldnoreply@blogger.com
