Way to subtly blame immigrants for shitty transport.
I assure you it’s not immigrants running NY subway and the MTA. they’re not the corrupt politicians pilfering funds away from it either. It’s not immigrants who think they’re too good for the subway so they grab Uber everywhere and have no vested interest in public transport.
- praha14 9y agoThe MTA, like most city's public transportation administration, is predominantly staffed by people of color- the DC metro is a whopping 97%. These serve the dual-role as a jobs program, and as such can't be held to the same standard as you see in white countries. Just think, would you be the one to tell a group of black people that their cultural values [1] regarding timeliness, service, and so on are incorrect? Of course not, nobody would, which is why we will continue to have a metro system that embodies those values. 1. https://www.minnpost.com/good-jobs/2017/01/metro-transit-has-driver-shortage-and-its-screening-process-may-be-one-reason-why https://www.minnpost.com/good-jobs/2017/01/metro-transit-has...
