The end of the year is always a time for reflection, and I’d like to take this opportunity to look back on how far theWe finished that year with an average of 2.3 million weekday subway riders. Today, we are regularly hitting 4 million, even on Fridays, and last Thursday, 4.5 million riders took the subway, the most on a single day in almost five years.
Gov. Kathy Hochul and the State Legislature responded, stepping up with critical funding for MTA’s operating budget that helped us deliver best-in-a-decade subway service and a billion rides this year, weeks earlier than last year. All over the transit system, components and assets dating as far back as the Franklin D. Roosevelt administration need to be brought into the 21. Thousands of customers were stranded for hours after a fire tore through a 90-year-old electrical facility. We can’t let this keep happening.
I’ll admit, it doesn’t make for the sexiest sales pitch, but this the reality of the situation, and I’ve been making the case to lawmakers, even going to Puerto Rico to meet with them at the annual SOMOS conference.
