Well I think the Bx12 was the perfect line to start with. They ALWAYS try things out in every other borough BUT the Bronx so I was thrilled that they started SBS here. I like SBS on the Bx12, the bus moves faster along Pelham Parkway and Fordham Rd

That's the main reason why it wouldn't work for the MTA/NYCT local bus routes, TWU 100 would never have it - as for ATU, the drivers in theory could still be under the same union even with a private company through coverage under the MTA with the pri
