“THE BIG BLUE BUS IS VERY SAFE AND it’s just amazing how one accident happens and all of a sudden they’re marked the unsafe bus out of every transit system in all of the West. I think it’s outlandish. I think the Big Blue Bus — compared to the MTA — is safer, cleaner and more pleasant. It’s definitely more accurate and on time. Accidents happen and, however unfortunate it may be, I still hope that the Blue Bus continues to run as it did always.”
