I wish him good luck and many long years with disney
Does this mean we can finally have that cable car system we've been wanting for so long? :lookaroun
Anyway, sounds like a good choice. Hopefully he can bring some fresh ideas to address some of WDW's transit issues.
What have I told you about bringing logic into a thread! We must bash him and explain how he has failed before his moving truck crosses the Florida border.:lol:Lets give the guy a solid year and see what he does. I hope good things of course.
I am a born and raised New Yorker. I have lived in New York City my whole life and it's sad but this has to be expected when your taking public transportation in a large city. I would look more at whether or not the transportation system operated efficicently and on a strict time schedule than the overall cleanliness of a station. My impression was that he would be in charge of making sure the transportation system ran smoothly. Buses were on time and there were enough present during crowded or peak times not the overall cleanliness of the transportation system. I am always impressed with how clean the transportation is around WDW, coming from NYC I feel they overachieve when it comes to cleanliness as I have come to expect some dirt it comes to transporting such large groups of people.This past December I went to San Francisco to visit the Walt Disney Family Museum. I rode BART (San Francisco subway) and MUNI (Streetcars, but not the famous Cable Cars) both in one day. They were both disgusting forms of transit; dirty and grimy stations and cars, graffiti-covered surfaces everywhere, surly and sloppy looking employees, outdated 1970's upholstery and furnishings, with some very rough looking transients bumming for change at every major station. I didn't dare get on a MUNI city bus, but from the looks of it they were even worse than the streetcars and subway.
By the end of my first day in San Francisco I had given up on trying to use public transit there, and just started jumping in cabs. I took a cab back to the airport as well.
Let's hope Mr. Lau knows that outside of San Francisco, people expect a basic level of cleanliness and courtesy from common carrier transportation. From what I saw of Mr. Lau's apparent work back in December, it's an odd choice for Disney to make.
