BUS LINES ELIMINATION * USA - At the End of the Line, Uneasy Riders
Northwest Bronx
New York,NY,USA -The New York Times, by KATHERINE BINDLEY -January 30, 2009: -- Efrain Rodriguez, a 42-year-old father of two who lives in Bedford Park in the Bronx, has a routine five days a week involving his 6-year-old daughter, Lauren, his 11-year-old son, Sam, and the Bx34 bus. Every morning, Mr. Rodriguez gets the children to Public School 8, on Briggs Avenue, by 8 a.m., and he picks them up there every afternoon... “I use it a lot,” he said of the Bx34, after exiting the bus near 194th Street on Thursday afternoon... Mr. Rodriguez worked as a superintendent on the Upper West Side until he lost his job after suffering a stroke last March and moved his family to the Bronx to live with his mother-in-law... But Mr. Rodriguez may soon need to find another ride. The Bx34 is one of 21 buses throughout the city that are candidates for elimination this spring because of a projected deficit in the budget of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority of well over $1 billion...
