R10 2952 Posted March 26, 2022 Share #2 Posted March 26, 2022 It's been on the drawing board in some form or another since 1990. Took only 3 decades LOL... In other words, NYCT isn't the only agency in this country that can't get its shit together. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don’t understand why don’t the promote from within. SMH. In all fairness, David Gunn ran the MBTA before he ran SEPTA (and then NYCT), so not everybody from up there is terrible. The reason the MBTA today is so bad, is because reforms and funding improvements initiated by their governor Deval Patrick were stalled after he was replaced by that GOP dickhead Charlie Baker. When confronted about issues with the MBTA, Baker does a lot of hemming and hawing, but when I read between the lines (and the Boston Globe) it seems he's been pushing for a gradual backdoor privatization of the MBTA. Imagine a less-abrasive, more mild-mannered, Republican version of Cuomo, and you get the picture. The situation up there is not going to change until they get a new (hopefully more progressive) governor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
