Gene Russianoff Quotes

«I can't fault them for picking a defense contractor, given all the public pressure to make the subways more secure.»
«It was shocking, in some ways, that somebody who couldn't do business with the city could do data business with the MTA.»
«Traditionally, all the mayors that have been around during the time I've been around - Koch, Dinkins, Giuliani and Bloomberg - their hearts are not in the subways. The state runs them.»
«I'm not big on the mayor taking the subway. That doesn't make up for the fact that he cut the city's contribution to the MTA capital program from $100 million a year to $75 million. It doesn't make up for his voting for the first fare hike and cuts in elevator operators and station booth attendants.»
«Pataki's got to make up his mind. If he keeps asking the feds for billions for both . . . New York will wind up with nothing.»
«Most people feel that there's an angry and indifferent god that runs the subway and it's sort of lashing out at you.»
«Twenty-five years ago, your trains broke down all the time, they were covered in graffiti and you had no incentive to use transit. Billions of dollars later, your trains are reliable and you get discounts the more you use the system. The lesson of all this is, if you invest in transit, the riders will come.»
«If it works ... that would be great, but it should be subject to rigorous, tough testing.»
«Arbitration - in which the rank and file will have no vote - is a recipe for potential unrest for years to come.»
