Just whose transit system is it?

The New York City Transit Authority, a state agency, was created in 1953 to muddy the waters as to who would be responsible for fare hikes on the city's subways and buses. In 1968, NYCTA was merged into the Metropolitan Transportation Authority along with the commuter railroads and the Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority. Even though all of its subways and most of its buses are operated within the city limits, NYC has little control over the operations of these vital lifelines so critical to reducing car overuse in the city.

Maybe it's time for a change.
