The amount of time New York City subway riders spend wait between trains is getting longer.
That’s the finding of an audit by the office of city Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli.
The audit found that the MTA’s “wait assessment” showed a decline in performance.
The wait times got worse on 16 lines and improved on five.
The MTA denounced the findings. In a statement, it said the audit includes “misunderstandings” and “outright misrepresentations.”
The agency added that the audit is “bereft of any substantive suggestions to make life better for subway customers.”
It says its capital plan includes steps to address the wait times such as new infrastructure and more subways.

As a long time rider of the F train I can attest to the fact that the rides are longer, the wait times are longer and the service is worse. The MTA is the government at its worst no oversight, billions in cost over runs , corruption and negative productivity. The only way to fix things is to fire the board and top management and start over with people who know how to run a business
