If it were the case then how come the transit agencies in Chicago and Boston adopted much of the PCC technology that was developed here in NY for their postwar equipment while the B of T and NYCTA rejected it?There was a merger/hostile takeover of the BMT by the NYCBOT. The merged organization suddenly has a surplus of managers, middle managers, etc. This places them in super survival mode. The NYCBOT managers were in charge because the BOT absorbed the BMT. The BOT managers survival mode included imposing their culture onto the BMT. I've seen this happen in the tech business, where "mergers" are far more common. This is true, even if the merger was to buy superior technology. |
