THat didn't used to be the case. Historically, railroads appointed only from within unlike advertising agencies which traditionally raided each other for management positions. That's probably why the quality of all the MTA agencies has suffered in recent years and is also a statement on the inability of the MTA's agencies to properly train its own personnel for upper level jobs. I read an article in the NY Times a few years ago that indicated that it was poor administrative style to import management from outside the agency or corporation since it sends the message that the only way to move up is to move out. Additionally, when it comes to the NYCTS, what does a manager from a small transit system like Boston or Philly that has separate transit lines that never intersect know about handling a place like DeKalb Av or W4 St where numbers of lines converge and diverge? Probably the closest transit system in complexity to NY is Chicago and even as complicated as the loop interlockings at Tower 12 and Tower 18 are, they don't compare to places like Nostrand Jct or Dekalb. When it comes to transit systems in the US and possibly even the world there are 2 categories: NYCTS and "others!" |
