Transit officials plan to experiment with running New York's massive subway system like 24 separate railroads.
New York City Transit President Howard H. Roberts Jr. told The New York
Times each subway line could have its own manager, with authority to
make decisions ranging from fixing leaks to setting schedules.
The reorganization is set to start Monday with the 7 and L lines. It
could spread throughout the system over three years if officials like
what they see.
Roberts says he thinks decentralizing the management of the 660-mile
system will make it more responsive to rider complaints. The new
managers will be able to deploy more cleaners and special repair crews.
Almost 5 million passengers ride the subways on an average weekday.
