    If the MTA wants to trim some fat reduce the number of vice presidents it has.
    I do not know the exact of VP’s they have but it is definitely more than ONE.
    This country has one Vice President why should the MTA require more than ONE? The MTA VP’s make at least 175K annually. If there are twenty VP’s and 19 are let go that’s a savings of $3,325,000. That my friend is a lot of cash that could go to track and signal up grades or maintenance. There is a lot of fat at the top of the MTA that should be trimmed instead of wanting to reduce conductors who are invaluable to the riding public.

    Excellent article. The Manhattan Institute’s transit analyses are consistently contemptible, yet get column inches whenever they want. My father, a bus driver, saved the lives of his passengers (and his own) when his brakes failed as he turned east from Broadway onto 110th street. He had the presence of mind to turn hard left and rock the bus perpendicular to the direction of that street. So I have personal experience of what Mr Utano describes.

    The TWU is one of the last industrial unions in the US. All workers (aka wealth creators) should speak in support of these efforts.
