Gentile demands MTA fix ‘drastic dysfunction’ on R train
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) is rolling in dough, according to Councilmember Vincent Gentile, who said the agency has a surplus of $1 billion.
Gentile (D-Bay Ridge-Dyker Heights-Bensonhurst), who said he has heard numerous complaints from his constituents about lousy service on the R train, said the MTA should be putting some of that money into improving that subway line.
R train riders have told Gentile of long waits for trains, crowded subway cars and other problems getting to work.
