It is too difficult for the MTA head to go at it alone and is why Sanders failed. The public won't believe what the MTA head says about his own organization unless there is a third party to confirm that what the MTA head is saying is accurate. Also, as transit blog writers and followers, it will be up to us to pressure the media to give more balanced and well-informed coverage of MTA issues. Journalists are typically open for feedback and we must take advantage of it.
