Yes, the dance may be a two-step, but one in which DOT is not, itself, on the dance floor. That the MTA and the MTABC are not being transparent is troublesome; it should be made clear that the goal is not to better the financial position of the MTA, but rather the City.More generally, there has yet to be a real fix to the problem of public transportation in this city not being financially sustainable. Every step that has been taken--be it tax increases or service reductions--has been to simply postpone the day of reckoning. Hard choices need to be made if there are to be long-term balanced budgets. The unions will not like those choices, and thus the politicians are afraid to make the decisions. Thus the spiral of higher and new taxes, and further service reductions, will continue. |
