Several things make that murky. NYCTA has shifted what should be operating expenses into capital costs. The useful life of rolling stock and other equipment has been shortened by lack of adequate maintenance.

Regarding sharing of costs. New York State assumed the responsibility for capital costs, when the Transit Authority was formed back in 1953. New York City also lost effective control over the NYCTA. The mayor appointed only 1 of 3 board members.

You will have to go back to the TA's predecessor, the Board of Transportation, when NYC was financially responsible for and had control over subway operation.
