If you can't fix it...
Apologize. At least it's a start. MTA chief Peter Kalikow had to step in and tell New York City Transit boss Lawrence Reuter to stop making excuses and start doing something to stop the rash of problems the subways are having. Reuter has spent too much time staring at ridership and maintenance ratio/comparison graphs and forgot that the actual riders don't care about metrics (or that the 70's were worse), they care that their subway is on time and not broken.
I would have to say that it is probably true that New York City Transit has been trimming back their maintenance schedules to try and save money, hopefully that particular tactic won't go on any further. A little bit bigger wish would be that the governor got the message that more funding is needed down state for transit. But I am probably dreaming.
