Trainspotter Posted December 6, 2007 Share #1 Posted December 6, 2007 Management of Subways to Be Split Since the subways were unified into one system decades ago, New Yorkers have come to think of them as part of a single, vast, often unwieldy whole. When the trains are late or trash piles up in a station, straphangers tend to grumble about a faceless “authority.” No one says: That guy who runs the No. 7 line really needs to get his act together. But transit officials are determined to change that. Full story: NY Times - December 6, 2007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superdotny Posted December 6, 2007 Share #3 Posted December 6, 2007 Good. I support this 100%, just as long it does not create more politics! We simply need more accountability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R1Toasty Posted December 6, 2007 Share #6 Posted December 6, 2007 A crew for each line? That sounds good, as long as there is a central control for all the lines. Maybe the grand transit council? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo M 201 Posted December 6, 2007 Share #7 Posted December 6, 2007 Aren't there line superintendents already? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOB2RTO Posted December 6, 2007 Share #8 Posted December 6, 2007 Aren't there line superintendents already? Good question. If there are then they are possibly who Mr. Roberts is talking about. You can't take what's in the papers word for word, and people do mis-speak at times. At least he does understand it's the layers of bureaucracy, that keeps things from getting done. He wants to change that. I'm all for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pelham Bay Dave Posted December 8, 2007 Share #10 Posted December 8, 2007 The RTO Structure is every Line has a Line Supt which has a Dep Supt for each tour on that line. Then you have a Gen Supt followed by the Assistant Chief for the Div. Then a Chief of RTO. So will just use the L Line as an Example. lets take that stalled L Train in the river tube. The Crew will write a report to the L Line PM Dep Supt. Then he fowards the Information to the Line Supt who will decided what punishment he will recommend downtown to the office of Labor relations. The L Line Supt must also notify the District Gen Supt who controls the A/C/J/M//L/Z Lines. Then he notifies the Head of B Div. Then the Chief get all the information. The New way a GM decides everything and doesn't have to get appoval from anyone. Thats the way I understand it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
