At a hearing at the Nassau County Legislature on Monday, hundreds of Nassau residents vehemently voiced their opposition to the privatization of county bus service, saying that the county government was balancing the budget at the expense of bus riders.
At the hearing, Nassau County Executive Ed Mangano and a county consultant repeatedly stressed that the bus service provided by Veolia, an international corporation based in Europe, would be better than the current service provided by the MTA.
Wrong.
