A brief correction before the service advisories: In announcing my upcoming Problem Solvers session at the Transit Museum, I noted that it was this Wednesday but inadvertently said it was February 2nd. A few eagle-eyed readers noted the discrepancy, and I’ve since corrected the mistake. To set the record straight, Problem Solvers is this upcoming Wednesday, February 5, at the Transit Museum in Brooklyn. You can get more info and RSVP right here. Now onto the light slate of service changes for Super Bowl weekend.

Remember this? The MTA’s brain-drain problem at the top
“There are obviously issues with MTA employees and staffing levels and pay scales,” said MTA board member Mitch Pally, who is on the committee that monitors the agency’s big-ticket projects. “I can assure you that management doesn’t make enough money, especially for people who are experienced,” he said. “These are complicated jobs.”
