Triangles

New Yorkers are shocked by the revelations of Joseph Lhota’s poor management triangle. Specifically New Yorkers and blue collar employees believe that it is disgraceful that the transportation in New York City has not been enhanced for so many years. As all know we all want MTA to serve New Yorkers. However, it is not clear if there is any intention of how to move forward or how to proceed. A caveat - it is the white collar who drove the MTA into the financial mess pit it is in.

What actions can be taken? One wonders what this Joseph Lhota poor management triangle is? Or maybe it is like the Bermuda triangle where aircrafts and surface vessels disappear under mysterious circumstances, some may say that is a myth. However when we are faced with Joseph Lhota’s poor management triangle it is similar to those pyramid schemes.

We hope there would be an inquiry about a transportation strategy or plan to make MTA one of the fastest and most robust transportation system in the world. Also if we can get the result the fastest that would command the confidence of New Yorkers. Will Joseph Lhota give assurance that as he remains in office that there will be no service reduction but rather a reversal of service cuts of 2010. As well as the enhancement of service to all New Yorkers. We hope he stands up and pledges. However with Joseph Lhota triangles and pyramids one has to worry.

We have heard many empty rhetoric - nobody expects anything with the Joseph Lhota triangles or pyramids. Does he realize New Yorkers rely on their mass transportation to get around. Does he care? Maybe he may retort back, what more can he do? Or he may claim that he has done more to support New Yorkers in enhancing their premier mass transportation system - we beg to differ. One wonders which transportation policies were left alone, which were advanced or scrapped, and which ones were carried on.

Overcrowding has overburdened this mass transportation system and there are many concerns that have been expressed from many quarters. They point to something very important which is the need for strategic transportation review precisely to make sure that MTA has the right capabilities to move New Yorkers around their city with a right focus. With the service cuts of 2010 it is clear this is not a mere overlook. In light of those service cuts of 2010 the need to look once again at those service cuts is necessary to make sure that there will be an enhancement of services.

One may ask do we have the right resources? Do we have the right strategy? A review of the service cuts of 2010 is required. Further what mechanisms are in place to counter any future service cuts? It may be news to many if there is a transportation strategy implemented. However with Joseph Lhota triangles or pyramid schemes that is not guaranteed.
