MTA on its way?

Published January 15, 2009 5:00am ET



The Maryland Transit Administration’s slogan is “Save the Bay, Ride MTA.” That would be a good idea — if its employees showed up to work. MTA statistics show that the agency loses more than 10 percent of its available work hours from people “calling out.” That means fewer buses run the routes and more crowding on the ones that are in service. Remind us how poor service encourages people to drop their cars for public transportation?
