The MTA has been way too comfortable for way too long and as a result get away with way too much. There needs to be a serious shake up. There can't be this looming threat of service cuts every time the MTA doesn't get its way financially. Voters need to raise holy hell and send the message to the politicians that this is NOT acceptable and certainly not sustainable. If any private business were run like this it would have gone bankrupt and the execs would have all bent sent to jail.

They did send a message. They voted for Cuomo who ran out the best manager the MTA ever had. And Hochul is like him in the mirror-verse.

If MTA admin expects want to be compensated like private industry why aren't they held to their standards? Would shareholders tolerate going over budget by billions? Why not sign up for performance based compensation? You do well you get rewarded? You do a shit job and you get 20$ an hour.

The MTA runs the way it does the same reason the 2008 financial crisis happened.. there is no accountability.
