“You’ve got to try new things,” Mayor Bloomberg said. “It’s three Saturdays. If it does hurt and it doesn’t provide any benefits, we won’t do it anymore. If it turns out that it’s great, we’ll do it a lot more, I hope. But there’s only one way to find out and that’s to go and to try new things and to minimize the disruption.”
