NYC disposed of $250,000 in maps printed to reflect fare hike erroneously. Who's paying for it?, page 1

"MTA threw away up to $250,000 worth of subway maps because they displayed outdated fare info"

Where are their heads these days. Since the new maps were printed *especially* to reflect the fare increase, how could they get THAT wrong and keep on printing $250K in maps THEN realize the error? Hello, I think my first DRAFT was in the 1st grade.

So much for checks and balance, GOTHAM! To top it off bet those responsible for all that added waste & pollution, still get a raise/bonus at review time.

Waste not, want not.

It happens. It sucks but it happens.


What is MORE disturbing is the cost of more than $3 a piece!

Alot of MTA employee just so happen to be former transportation/signage contractor employees.

The printing CONTRACTOR makes half a million dollars!

Instead of just quarter million. So many corrupt contractors and under-the-table deals with municipal employees.

i dont believe it was a "mistake"

^ Incidently, theres no historic shortage of sentiment exposing MTA are synonymous with corruption & waste

All the same...he who places the order proofs and signs off on the final artwork. Let's not blame the printer.
