Andrew Yang proposes copy/pasting NYC Transit operations to management by the city

By Mark Hallum Posted on May 19, 2021

Mayoral candidate Andrew Yang believes there is no reason why the city cannot integrate NYC Transit back into the fold of its responsibilities, considering historical precedence, to improve service and “unwind” some of the bureaucracy.

If subways and buses being operated by the city until the 1970s and mayoral control of schools with funding from the state are any example of precedence, Yang believes an administration under his leadership can bring NYC Transit under the umbrella of the city Department of Transportation.
