The article is full of problems. When was the MTA HQ at 370 Jay St? The TA HQ (big difference) was there, and most of those operations are now split between...
True, but there are a lot of similar functions that could be combined, be it in house or external. Personally, I would rather see the MTA start up their own...
I am tired of the "we send more than we receive" argument - there's nowhere where it's written that a municipality should receive the same amount back that it...
