Don't worry. According to Oycrumbler, the MTA is great. It's not a cesspool of corruption, fraud, and incompetence both on the management and labor level. We're lucky to have the MTA operate this garbage transit system. What would we very do without them?
Does anyone really believe that this guy scammed only $21K throughout his career?
Also, a 60 year old in charge of on board TECHNOLOGY for MTA buses. It's like a sick joke. I would bet this guy can barely operate outlook or excel.
MTA exec scammed $21K by falsifying timesheets: inspector general

In the newly revealed case, Martin Olsen falsely claimed to have worked on 39 days when he never actually showed up at his Lower Manhattan office and also left as early as noon on six other days,

But he retired last month rather than fight the allegations and the MTA refused to pay him for an unspecified amount of accrued vacation time to cover some of the $21,336 he stole, the report said.

I have said before that there are issues with corruption especially at the top and there needs to be severe clawbacks on pensions and contracts, but that's not the same thing as agreeing with something stupid like you having said that NYC has transit equivalent to a city of a third world country, that the MTA is solely a jobs program or that running a large transit system is simple because those are all simply inaccurate. You making up what you think other people are saying doesn't mean things you said are any less inaccurate. NYC has transit that's about as good as that of London and Paris which are okay and serviceable, but not great compared to some other metropolitan areas especially as you adjust for metropolitan population size. It has much better transit than that of the rest of the US when adjusting for size and when comparing the transit in US cities with metro population with similar size in cities of other developed countries, but that's a low bar. How you came from that to the MTA is great or that there is no corruption, fraud or incompetence is completely your own interpretation, but I like that I'm living rent-free in your head. Maybe I should be charging you for the company instead.

The MTA Is FINALLY getting some of the technological things that Chicago had when I first went there almost 15 years ago
The Ventra system is quite impressive.
The idea you can load your fare on your phone and see exactly how much time you have left on your passes or add them remotely is just mind blowing when you've lived with the MTA's archaic system for so long.
NY needs to raise a huge ton of capital to fix it's infrastructure up.
Ngl...I've come to expect delays every single time I ride the train. I'm new here, and so I don't know if this is how it was before but yeah.
