Maybe I am a bit crazy but in reading the MTA posts for subway and bus route changes, I find myself asking who writes this stuff and then posts it for the public? Sometimes I wonder as the posts have wrong stations, wrong streets and are just totally wrong but yet it is fed to the general public, the media and those that do the traffic reports as gospel. If was is not for the posters here, no one would be asking questions about the correctness of the information being disseminated. Not the media with the exception of a couple of true journalists would not know whether it is correct, nor the traffic reporters as they just read it nor the MTA  as they let this information with all its mistakes go out daily and does nothing about it as it has been going on for years. 

All I am asking is for some truthfulness in reporting subway and bus delays and re-routes and to make sure the information is correct before it is issued to the general public. Start remembering that not all New Yorkers are as familiar as many of us who post here and correct information is a necessity in this city for tourists and residents alike.

The typo is RIGHT THERE. And I posted this the moment I got it from MyTransit.

I dont say this too often but hes right. The MTA started posting each alert with a link, so its now impossible for anyone to make stuff up about service changes without getting called out. Someone screwed it up bad.
