NYC Transit President Thomas Prendergast is sending tradesmen and workers to fix 8 subway stations in four boroughs, according to the Daily News. All stations in question have benefited from major renovations in recent years, but were denied the follow-up care needed to keep them in ship-shape.
The president, who started his job in December, is now ready to improve the system despite the looming budget shortfalls.
He also vows to improve rush-hour service on the Lexington Avenue line.
