I ride it every week and it has been bad and getting worse. The 2nd ave Subway did not help the IRT Lexington line like they said/thought it would. The signal systems are ancient. There is trash all over the tracks which catches fire then causes delays. The rats are big as babies!!! And there is a GIANT ****ing match between Cuomo and DeBlasio. Cuomo plans on running for President so he is trying to get his name out there. For the record neither of them have a clue. Now on to the MTA. The MTA controls everything. Metro-North, LIRR, NYC Subway, NYC Bus, MTA Bridges and Tunnels formally known as the Triboro Bridge and Tunnel Authority. The MTA is controlled by Albany and the politicians. MTA spelled backwards is ATM. NYC lost almost all control when the MTA took over. As it used to be NYC Transit and run by the NYC Transit Authority. To be honest Metro-North is run fairly well, as it doesn't have to many operating handicapps. Grand Central is big, clean and has only one railroad, Metro-North and is owned by the same. Penn Station is half the size, has three railroads and is owned and operated by Amtrak. We all know Amtrak's issues. This is what is going on around here in a nutshell.
