Sure, I trust that the MTA will be able to successfully implement a new technology that's never been used on a transportation system before. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/03/nyregion/l-train-shutdown.html

This sounds like a bandaid that will eventually come back to bite us in the ass.

I am not that negative on the revised proposal as top engineering talent of the nation is involved in designing the solution.

As i watch people daily jump a turnstile or walk in thru the exit door to a train, including stops that have police with there bag checks stations be completely ignored by the cops, I think I will start doing the same. I dont see why I need to be one of the Awholes always paying anymore.

I'm not a big conspiracy-theory person, but man, something about this announcement stinks...

Am I right in reading that the plan is to use a new technology which has never been used for a transportation system in this country before, but rather than re-do an RFP, etc process they are planning on keeping the same contractors and just tweaking the contract?
