Reply to comment by TheClassyEngineer in Feds not coming to MTA’s rescue under GOP House, Schumer says by newzee1

Ironically, the MTA needs more middle management.

One of the top drivers of the cost overruns is they constantly hire expensive "consultants" to do everything at twice the cost of a normal 9-5 city worker.

I remember being at a company where they sent me to help with a contract. I showed up to sit there with like 20 other people to watch 5 of them discuss the color of a binder for a month. They had to decide on this before we were able to start our work....I never got paid to do so much nothing for so long until the MTA...
