Lance Posted August 6, 2016 Share #1 Posted August 6, 2016 Recently, the MTA (and I suppose Governor Cuomo as well since all good things MTA-related come from his office apparently) has been on a kick of announcing their plans to improve communications with the general public.

Just giving people why work is being and what the end results (gains).Would go along way. There easy fixes updated site and socials easy to read and very visual. PR pushes via print and TV/Radio.

CenSin Posted August 6, 2016 Share #3 Posted August 6, 2016 Imagine if they spent that money replacing the useless giant paper maps with digital displays that change according to service diversions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
