> Cuomo was uninterested in maintaining it, aside from scant, hollow PR moments. Cuomo even deigned to make hollow PR statements about the subway to the press? I must have missed those. I'm being flippant, but not without reason: Cuomo has taken the subway exactly twice in the last decade, went out of his way not to take public transit when running for re-election (lest it be interpreted as him admitting responsibility for the system), and undermined Andy Byford at the one job he ostensibly hired him to do in the first place. It's not that Cuomo is all talk and no action. When it comes to public transit, he isn't even "talk". He's just completely absentee, and downright proud of it.
