The New MTA

Friday, March 19th, 2010 | Author: Jowy

The rabble rousers over at NewMTA.info made news recently as they posted some of their new and improved GREED subway service change signs at West 4th and 34th Streets. New MTA is a bogus MTA website—nearly identical to the original—that features some subway news satire.  For example, one headline reads: “MTA Suspends Student MetroCards, Tells Children To Get Fit By Walking.”

With the looming service cuts and fare increases, we’re glad to see New MTA is back in action. We are also glad to see they improved their grammar since the last time we’ve heard from them.
