The MTA Roundup – Apr. 12

If you’re on the train when nature calls, hope you’re on the L. That’s where the subway’s cleanest bathroom’s are –- the Myrtle-Wyckoff and Canarsie Rockaway Parkway stops — according amNewYork. Transit reporter Heather Haddon lists best and worst of underground loos.

The Associated Press reports on efforts by the NYPD counterterrorism division to protect what is potentially the nation’s primary terrorist target — the NYC subway.

The New York Post reports that a pregnant woman looking for a seat landed in the crosshairs of NYPD’s subway crime crackdown last week. The woman received a $75 citation for passing between the cars’ sliding doors.

That’s not the only thing that has the Post taking aim at the MTA. The tabloid has a story on the effect of the transit agency’s tax on small business owners. So far this year, the tax has only brought in 85 percent of the revenue it was expected to, according to the Post.
