Reply to comment by volkommm in MTA cuts free Wi-Fi from NYC buses by flightwaves
Yeah because he doesn’t want them to do both. He didn’t say WiFi should be cut but they should tackle bureaucratic abuses instead. He’s actively advocating for keeping the free WiFi. The mutually exclusive comment makes no sense.

yes it does? smg is saying that what they are doing is a, but that they should stop doing a and do b instead. windup is saying that there is no reason they can't do both a and b, because a has nothing to do with b. a happening does not preclude the city from doing b.

And the city’s ability to do both a and b is irrelevant to smg’s comment because he does not want them to do both a and b, he only wants b.

smg suggests that because the city is doing A, they are not doing B. their use of the word "instead" establishes that they think there is some sort of connection between those things.
