MTA still looking at station sponsorship plans
When last we heard about the MTA’s plan to sell station sponsorship rights, it was July of 2007. Well, nothing has happened in the intervening 13 months. However, the MTA would just like to take the time to remind you that, yes, they’re still thinking about it, and it might happen soon. There’s nothing like responding quickly to a financial opportunity in the midst of an economic crisis.
I think this is a great idea. The MTA must force any company that “buys” a station in Manhattan to also buy an outer borough station. Like with the NFL you must buy tickets to all preseason games to buy season tickets.
If/when the company neglects its outer borough station, what can the MTA or the riders do about it?
