Well, it seems like she came into a bad situation, so it's not all on her.

LOL. Only MARTA would keep this woman employed this long. They are running her out of Boston in 2 years. MARTA kept her around 5 years.

Thank goodness she's no longer here. Keith has been far better.

A dead fern would've been an improvement... so Keith > a dead fern.

Different lady. This Beverly Scott was the GM of MATA.

Quote:
Scott was a controversial pick for GM, because of management issues that came to light when she headed the Metropolitan Atlanta Transit Authority

Apparently she resigned today. Watch out Keith!

As someone who was working for MARTA when Scott was GM, I wouldn't say she "ran it into the ground." Parker is leagues better than her though.

Sounds like MBTA is a lot worse off than MARTA.
