Now that's investigative journalism

In a highly entertaining article, New York Times reporters stake out a meeting of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority board to see whether or not the board members use public transportation. While many do, at least one (who owns an auto dealership, ironically enough) drove away in an illegally-parked SUV.

If the subway is good enough for the mayor, why isn't it good enough for the people who decide on the fare?

Pretty silly. After all, the MTA is responsible for more than subways and buses. The only subagency of the MTA that runs a net profit is the MTA Bridges and Tunnels.

Totally unrelated: just noticed that MTA's web site claims that they intend to initiate construction on the Second Avenue Subway by the end of 2004! Is that wishful thinking or is that an actual live project?
