NEW YORK - No other city in America is as reliant on mass transit as New York, with millions of daily riders usually cramming into subway cars, trains and buses run by sprawling public agencies.
“This is by far the largest challenge we’ve faced,” said Jonathan DeCamp, the sixth generation of his family to run DeCamp Bus Lines, which chose to halt operations this month for the first time in its 150-year history. Transportation companies often have to adjust schedules to account for fluctuations in demand, but they are loath to suspend service altogether because loyal customers may have no alternative. That is one reason so many private operators are still running buses despite the slim ridership.
Before that, bus traffic into Manhattan had reached its limits, leaving buses backed up through the Lincoln Tunnel into New Jersey every weekday morning. In early August, it resumed some of its routes after receiving a share of the emergency federal aid that Congress gave to the transportation departments in Michigan and Wisconsin. But other routes, including commuter service between Detroit and Ann Arbor, Michigan, remained suspended.
Then, Aug. 5, DeCamp surprised him and its other remaining riders by announcing on social media that it would cease operations indefinitely at the end of that week. The union has joined with a long list of private carriers in pressing for passage of a federal bill that would provide emergency aid for transportation services, including $10 billion for motor coach operators. That legislation is bogged down in negotiations between Republicans and Democrats over additional economic stimulus.
