A $50-million paint job

The MTA’s painting efforts haven’t gotten much positive press over the last few years. First, the agency couldn’t figure out how to spend $50 million on painting their decaying stations. Then, they announced that the paintings would proceed at a pace that would take 39 years to cover every station. Now that the high-priced paint job is under way, just how is the MTA faring? Friend-of-SAS Beehive Hairdresser explored the newly-painted 77th St. station in Bay Ridge and came away less than impressed. His pictures reveal a station still in need of a few more coats. Perhaps it’s all just a work in progress.

    It’s all a bunch of primer. Eventually that’ll all be covered up with regular colors.
