People who don't take the subway. I wish I was joking but a lot of the MTA leadership, as well as the politicians who appoint them and give them money, don't actually take transit.

Why would anyone in that salary range, probably with dedicated parking, want to take the subway? It's a worse experience overall.

Idk, I've taken taxis into and out of Manhattan and always end up regretting after being stuck in gridlock

Parking is not the issue. Every junior banker in the city could afford a dedicated spot if they wanted and still make more than these MTA clowns.

The reason they don't take the train is that it sucks and they are the reason.

Its good enough for a junior banker but not for an MTA executive?

Exactly. Nothing about MTA's salary range means they wouldn't take the subway.

The reason they don't take it is it sucks.
