	New York City Subway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The subway is operated by the New York City Transit Authority, described by its parent Metropolitan Transportation Authority as MTA New York City Transit.
		The world-famous token was phased out in 2003, the same year the MTA raised the basic fare to $2, amid angry protests from passenger and advocacy groups such as the Straphangers Campaign.
		Subway cars ( R44s) operate on the Staten Island Railway, opened in 1860, but that is not usually considered part of the Subway.

	Metropolitan Transportation Authority (New York) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The MTA has the responsibility for developing and implementing a unified mass transportation policy for The City of New York and Dutchess, Nassau, Orange, Putnam, Rockland, Suffolk and Westchester counties, all of which together are the "Transportation District".
		MTA Subways will be a merger of MTA New York City Transit's subways and MTA Staten Island Railway.
		The MTA is governed by a 17-member Board representing New York City and each of the counties in the Transportation District.

	Article \| SUBWAY RESCUE
		New Yorkers learned in January that their subways are in trouble, when a fire knocked out service for the half-million people who ride the A and C trains each day.
		Subways that pay for their own operations aren't unprecedented: Gotham's subways were built and operated by private-sector companies, and turned a profit during the first decades of their existence.
		But today, even the most unabashed free marketeer can't propose that the public pay the full cost of a subway ride because the MTA and the Transit Workers, Union have so enshrined the inefficiencies of a public monopoly into the authority's operations that the full cost is outrageous.

	City Journal Spring 2005 \| How to Save the Subways—Before It’s Too Late by Nicole Gelinas
		The MTA faces bills now coming due for decades’ worth of poor operational and financial management—for which not just the bloated and clueless MTA but also Governor Pataki’s political leadership are ultimately to blame.
		The MTA and Pataki claim that debt is rising because the agency had to borrow to revitalize assets that were sorely neglected during the 1960s and 1970s budget crunches, when tracks deteriorated and graffiti-caked trains rusted.
		Adapting this model, the MTA could improve upon London’s too-long and too-complex contracts by outsourcing responsibility for one discrete, long-term project at a time, rather than fobbing off responsibility for upkeep of the entire subway system onto the private sector all at once.
