The MTA Roundup — Mar. 15


There’s been a slew of mass transit news since Friday. Here’s your update:

New Yorkers aren’t the only ones concerned about the MTA’s plan to lay off hundreds of station agents. U.S. representatives from other states are calling it a security threat, according to The New York Times.

Finally! The Post is reporting that MTA is soliciting proposals from contractors to install wi-fi at Grand Central Terminal, Penn Station and on the LIRR and Metro-North.

The Brooklyn Daily Eagle writes about an old MTA building that leaders say is a blemish on the Downtown Brooklyn’s resurgence.

Politicians from the Northern suburbs are calling for an end to the MTA’s payroll tax, according to the Poughkeepsie Journal.

It’ll be news the day that there’s not a rumor that the MTA is contemplating a fare hike. Today is not that day. The Post has a story on the latest fare-hike rumblings.

The 7 train is back – early! The Queens Courier has the announcement.
