    I know smart people at DOT and my heart goes out to them for having to work for this guy

    Here's the comment as a screenshot. It's pessimistic.

    Anyway, for now, there's not much left to say about Byford. I'm going to write about open gangways last his week instead. I think Aaron is right in this tweet, and I think this comment someone left is correct too unfortunately:

    The Cuomo nut is a tough one to crack. It's a positive that he wants to reform and fix the MTA. But he also absolutely refuses to listen to any idea that isn't his, and he can't stomach dissent. That's not a path to positive reform.

    Anyway, the biggest tell in this entire article is this paragraph. It minimizes Save Safe Seconds, over-promotes the Subway Action Plan, and obscures the reality of what Byford was doing. We know why Byford left. We know why Cuomo pushed him out. It's not "but both sides."

    There are a lot of pointless anecdotes showing ultimately how Cuomo has no idea what he's doing, but this one is striking & not Byford-related. Cuomo showed up a union shop, saw no work happening, and then.....gave the union raises without pushing for work-rule reforms. OK.

    This is a wild wild segment. Cuomo was first elected governor in 2010. Why is he getting a pass for being a terrible steward of the transit system for so many years? And we *still* haven't gotten an independent assessment of the L train work. We just know it costs about the same

    A few scattered thoughts: What even is Kathy Wylde saying here? I honestly have no idea.

    I guess I'm going to come back to this because I said I would, but boy, is it exhausting me. This piece is billed as a clash of egos, but only one person in it seems to be wearing his ego on his sleeve.

    This is packaged and framed up as a story of two big egos colliding but the narrative is just about Andrew Cuomo being an asshole until the highly competent MTA chief got sick of dealing with him

    The story gave Andrew Cuomo too much credit for pointless photo-ops and didn't challenge him nearly enough on the fiction he propagated for years that he didn't control the MTA

    Nothing would make me happier than watching my neighbors melt down should ten of these pop up overnight where they usually store their BMWs free of charge.

    The driver who killed an elderly woman as he was backing into his driveway last year was let off the hook entirely, and is still speeding, thanks to Brooklyn prosecutors who dropped the case, letting it expire under the so-called speedy trial law.

    What’s dumber: thinking the LIRR will run 4 trains/hour to a station that now gets no service solely, because of an AirTrain that few will ride because of how expensive and inconvenient is (and how low airport transit ridership generally is); or the idea that it actually might?

    Good morning, now the second of month of 2020. We still do not have the names of the mayor's MTA Board recommendations, the mayor's nominee to the Traffic Mobility Review Board or the MTA Board nominees to the TMRB

    I’m going to come back to this later today when I have a few minutes but one thing you should know is that Dwyer sat in on numerous Cuomo-hosted MTA-related meetings last year at the request of the Governor’s office. “Why?” you might ask.

    We built a bunch of American cities where a car is the only way to get around, and people are routinely surprised by the physics of fitting tens of thousands of people in giant boxes that hold at most 4-6 people.
