Show Notes
A coalition of business groups, watchdogs, and transit advocates have sent a letter to Albany leaders, urging them to reject the Transport Workers Unions bills mandating two-person crews on all staffed subway trains. The bills, Senate Bill S9586 and Assembly Bill A10706, aim to prevent the MTA from expanding one-person operations on new tech-equipped lines. The union argues that two crews enhance safety and assist passengers with disabilities, but opponents point out that fewer than six percent of rail lines worldwide use two or more operators. As contract talks approach, this debate over crews and costs could significantly impact the MTAs future efficiency and budget.
