Re: NYT: Subway Chief May Quit Over Tensions With Cuomo, Colleagues Fear

Posted by nasadowsk on Sat Apr 20 03:31:12 2019, in response to NYT: Subway Chief May Quit Over Tensions With Cuomo, Colleagues Fear, posted by GojiMet86 on Fri Apr 19 09:09:13 2019.

I'm honestly surprised he's stayed on as long as he has. After the L train fiasco, I would have left and made it quite clear that political meddling in things was why.

He was hired to run a transit system. He's pretty good at that. Let him do his job.

Flip side - he might not be terribly bad for SEPTA or even NJT. SEPTA seems to be on a trajectory towards being a quite respectable system, they just need a push over the finish line and someone who can get their regional rail chaos straightened out*.

* No level boarding (high, low - PICK ONE), equipment purchases that make zero sense (multilevels and locos on what's really a compact S bahn. The existing push/pull stuff gets no utilization, ie. it's wasted money), mostly. The whole Key thing could be a useful way to reduce overcrewing of trains. Tighten up the schedules and a few other things, you get a model system in the US...
