Train operator exam is discriminatory

In the latest exam for subway train operator, Train Operator exam 7603, the MTA has asked applicants to have a valid New York State driver's license. I drove a train for over 30 years and when I was promoted to train operator in 1984, there was no requirement for either a driver's license or a high school diploma. If you were able to pass the test, it was demonstration of sufficiently literacy to do the job.

NYC subway riders push AG Letitia James to probe OMNY cards after claims of extra charges, phantom fines

A crew of subway riders who say they’ve been overcharged and issued phantom fines on their MTA-issued OMNY cards want the state’s top prosecutor to investigate the alleged debacle, The Post has learned. The group Passengers United told The Post they are organizing rallies outside Attorney General Letitia James’ office to push for a probe into the tap-and-go fare system they claim hit hundreds of New Yorkers with overcharges and improper fees. “We want them to investigate [system developer] Cubic for defects with OMNY, including overcharges, [and that] it doesn’t show payments leading to erroneous fines from fare inspectors,” group president Charlton D’Souza told The Post. Passengers United members say they’ve been overcharged and given phantom fines on their MTA-issued OMNY cards and want AG James to investigate. Steven Hirsch for NY Post Bus-fare evasion is just the start of Kathy Hochul’s looming MTA cash woes In addition to James, the group sent letters to city and state lawmakers laying out the complaints, along with a petition demanding the MTA fix OMNY and restore unlimited passes. Gregory P. Mango for NY Post Cubic did not respond to a request for comment. Subway delays worsen as MTA touts solutions in 2050

This new light rail en route to connect 17 subway lines from Brooklyn to Queens in just 32 minutes is officially taking public input—here’s how to have your say

Who else is tired of taking a 45-minute detoured subway ride into Manhattan just to travel a few miles between Brooklyn and Queens? The MTA’s most anticipated outer-borough project in decades, the Interborough Express (IBX) , is getting closer to reality—and city transit officials are asking New Yorkers to weigh in on how it should actually look and feel. Through September 2026, the MTA is taking its design team on the road for a massive public outreach campaign. Commuters and residents can drop by pop-up workshops at local subway stations, bus hubs, and parks across Brooklyn and Queens to review project renderings, speak directly with engineers, and submit feedback on station designs. What is the Interborough Express? The Interborough Express (IBX) is a transformative, 14-mile light rail transit line that will stretch from Bay Ridge, Brooklyn to Jackson Heights, Queens . Built along existing freight tracks (the LIRR-owned Bay Ridge Branch and CSX Fremont Secondary), the light rail line will connect with up to 17 different subway lines, as well as Long Island Rail Road, with end-to-end travel times anticipated at just 32 minutes. Once complete, it will substantially cut down on travel times between the two boroughs, reduce congestion,
