I'm going to point back at the plan of WMATA's new GM because I really cannot overstate how important it is to set specific goals and targets and show progress toward achieving them. What is the FMCB doing? What are its goals? What progress is it making that has any effect on service or reliability? Even as an advocate, I struggle to point to something specific the FMCB is doing other than muckraking and penny pinching; their mission is nebulous, just as every 'reform before revenue' scheme before it. We did the same thing with the late night pilot - the T/MassDOT/the Commonwealth didn't set any specific goals or marker of success and threw away any opportunity to make it work well..
Well, this was well-timed.

I'm not fighting you on your FMCB points, only on blaming DePaola for the FMCB's failures.
