OPINION: Is there hope for solving NYC’s mass transit woes?
Who is to blame for the endless problems in the city’s mass transit system, from the ceiling collapses at the Borough Hall subway station in Brooklyn, to the Second Avenue subway line that was completed four years late, to overcrowded subway platforms, delays and repeated failures to notify commuters of emergency repairs?
Governor Andrew Cuomo and Mayor Bill de Blasio both have the same answer: “Don’t blame me, blame him.” Over the past year, we have been witness to nonstop fingerpointing from the city and state leaders.
