Criticism section?

Why isn't there one? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.82.12.210 (talk) 14:53, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

I agree. The incompetence of the MTA is so criminally extensive and such a fundamental characteristic of its nature that an honest article about it should include at least some gesture towards its incomprehensible failures on an hourly basis. You would be hard pressed to find a New Yorker who actually uses the transit system to say "I think the MTA does a good job." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.229.225.177 (talk) 21:07, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

I would start with the MTA board's free EZ passes. http://www.nydailynews.com/ny_local/2008/05/27/2008-05-27_kalikow__mta_cronies_get_passes_for_life.html Then discuss construction delays. http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/10/20/report-faults-mta-for-delays-in-big-construction-projects/ And then fare increases, their unacknowledged regressiveness, and de facto service cuts. http://gawker.com/5409464/new-york-city-just-gives-up-on-subway-service Jewpiterjones (talk) 04:34, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

Map

I love the map from Columbia.edu, but the man who produces it has said he will no longer be updating it, might not it be worth it for some wikipedian to take it over? mbisanz

Tunnel dwellers

something should be said about the people who live underground

MTA LOGO

There should a mention on how the MTA logo looks like Pac-Man —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.74.165.132 (talk) 18:05, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

For that, they'd really need to add some more letters and adjust the angle of the text shrinking, so it meets up at no more than one point on the other (right) side. However, I have herd the term 'pacman scheme' describing their bus livery. Jason McHuff 05:01, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

MTA museum

There should be a link or even an article on the MTA museum: http://www.mta.info/mta/museum/ 66.65.95.56 (talk) 17:37, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Related agencies

From other articles, it sounds like there might be no difference between a "subsidiary" and an "affiliated agency". Also, various articles refer to the SIRTOA as a subsidiary of the NYCTA. Can anyone verify with a reference? -- Beland (talk) 01:56, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Hopelessly confused with The Bronx

I'm sure that there are purely innocent, well-intentioned, good-faith mistakes involved, but this has become hopelessly entangled with an article I've been editing for months on The Bronx. I removed the MTA stuff from the Bronx, but now the MTA article has a Bronx infobox and footnotes. Can somebody research the history and unsnarl this mess? —— Shakescene (talk) 23:32, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

OK, I've removed the MTA article from The Bronx and The Bronx from the top of this article. I hope that nothing has been lost in the process. –— Shakescene (talk) 23:53, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
