Former Governor Andrew Cuomo is campaigning for mayor, emphasizing his ability to complete ambitious infrastructure projects. During a recent debate, he claimed that NYC subways have never been worse, despite facing criticism for his management of the MTA. Critics argue that lavish projects like the Second Avenue subway diverted necessary resources from essential maintenance, leading to significant service disruptions. Cuomo's spokesperson defended his record, attributing the criticisms to a disconnect between transit advocates and practical management challenges in public transportation.
"In his lust for ribbon cuttings, he pushed forward with the Second Avenue Subway, which turned into the most expensive mile of subway ever built in the world."
"The transit advocacy industrial complex has never been a fan, because they only like people in their own clubhouse and have no concept of what actual management entails."
