Taking it one step further, the MTA has the right to stop operating MTA Bus Company if the City does not pay the full subsidy, and the City could contract with some other operator (much like NICE).As to NYCTA and MaBSTOA, there is a lease (but not a full subsidy) from the City, and if there were a desire, the City could recall the service and resume direct operation as it was prior to 1953 (or perhaps even contract it out to some other operator). Overall, given the contract and lease provisions, there's probably slightly greater job security at NYCTA and MaBSTOA. |
