Webinar a stunning success

By Benjamin Kabak

Wait. Wait. No, it’s not. We’re now 45 minutes into the so-called fare hike webinar, and guess what? The only message from the MTA is: “Hi, please be patient we are experiencing technical difficulties.” Anyone surprised by this? Anyone? Bueller?

Update: At about 1:45 p.m., a message popped up on my computer telling me that “The Webinar has Ended.” It ended before it even began. Computers 1, MTA 0.

    Their distain is unforgiveable. I called the CEO’s office twice during the webinar, and was told that I’d get a call back. Never got nothing! What a waste of 2 hours!

    I don’t think it ever worked. At about 1:40, a box popped up on my computer screen, saying that the Webinar was over, and the GoToMeeting software closed. Hope the fare hike can pay for a better IT staff for the future.
