You can thank LaGuardia for starting the 1950's neglect. There was little money left after he bought the BMT and IRT, tore down the older els, yet kept building the IND. All this on a nickel fare. Then the war comes, forcing people to use mass transit, so he takes credit for running the subways at a profit- even with the five cent fare. Too bad he died in 1947 and didn't live to see the financial mess he had created. |
