A transportation train wreck - The Hill's Congress Blog

Everyday 8.5 million residents of the Tri-State area use New York City's mass-transit system. They rely on the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's (MTA) buses, trains and subways to get them to and from work, visit loved ones, or simply enjoy everything this great city has to offer. Likewise, the 49 million tourists the City welcomes every year use the City's transit system to explore the five boroughs, visit our world-class museums or see the sights.
