MTA Chief Superintendent Joseph Daidone pointed out that maintaining systems built during the Nixon administration is ineffective for today’s subway service, hindering operational efficiency.
Daidoe uses eBay and auctions for salvaging parts from decommissioned substations, indicating significant challenges in maintaining the aging technology critical for subway operations.
With 77 substations categorized as being in poor condition, minor failures lead to significant delays, reflecting the dire state of the MTA's electrical infrastructure.
Younger MTA employees often need help using outdated equipment like a rotary phone from 1969, emphasizing the technological gap and challenges of maintaining an antiquated system.
