The only person who can really make the needed reforms at the MTA is the Gov. At this point I don't see that happening. At most the MTA will put out some kind of budget with some magic numbers about cost savings. But they are still going to cry poor and propose service cuts (more than they already have.)

Anytime you see a MTA spokesperson mention "best practices", they are full of shit. The MTA wouldn't know international best practices if it hit them.

Coumo was a piece of shit too. One of the biggest turds. Now you're saying Zeldin was a shit stain. He didn't even get a chance. So now what? Enjoy your congestion pricing.

Wait. Isn't that why people voted for Hocul? Because she had a D next to her name. Lmao

Not defending zeldin because he's a piece of work but hochul hasn't done anything for NYC since she took office. We were probably better off with the guy with the R next to his name

Zeldin wasn't a good option for the republicans but I would think he was better than Hochul. She hasn't done anything since she has taken office.

Wouldn't help. The special interest groups would just change who the check is made out to

They still refuse to itemize their construction costs, so the public has no idea how exactly they spend their money in projects.

Florida DOT can tell me that it costs exactly $36 to remove litter for a new road project, but the MTA can’t tell us how much anything costs for a new tunnel? Smh

The public doesn't want to know how much they spend. Trust me. It will make you sick to your stomach. But it might also make you want to go work for a MTA contractor lol. Bitter sweet.
