The Dog Ate My Subway Train

The City’s MTA Transit division issues 34,000 “excuse notes” a year for late trains and buses. Riders can request them by phone and soon online. However, added to your delay is that it takes the MTA up to two weeks to provide the excuse note! MTA info showed that delays were up 24% from the previous year with a reported 92% on-time average. Let’s hope that future MTAlibi excuse notes help late commuters with strict bosses and convince MTA bosses to be stricter about improving transit service.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This blog is a quick comment on an older New York City news headline. Unforeseen NYCo site development delays prevented its publication before now. For readership continuity, 100’s of older headlines are to be posted in chronological order until this blog is current. Though some of the stories may no longer be as relevant as they once were, they remain interesting news items worthy of this site’s mention and viewer comments.
