Rolling Nowhere
While WMATA is busily complaining that, unless funding is improved, the Washington D.C. metro system will fall into disrepair, the New York MTA is already there. Two major snafus brought to a halt four subway lines yesterday, suspending L, V, and local E & F train service.
We've said it once and we'll say it again -- until the feds start realizing the importance of funding and maintaining local transit networks, this is going to be more and more commonplace.
Mind you, MTA is more optimistic. One conductor, according to the NY Post article, told his riders, "Thank you for riding MTA New York City Transit. I hope we do better tomorrow."
As do we.

Call me cynical, but I don't think the current feds will do much to advance funding for transit. All the huge transit systems are in huge cities filled with Democratic voters.
