“What’s a mystery is that 4,000 of these PTC monitors were installed on the tracks and only now do they know that it’s faulty,” Schumer said. “Why wasn’t there testing done? How quickly can it be fixed? Maybe it can be fixed easily. Let’s see.” Because of the equipment failure, Schumer said numerous questions must be answered.
“We need the government to do a top-to-bottom review and find out what went wrong? Who’s to blame? How to still meet the deadline? And how to get the money back from those contractors who messed this up by selling the MTA faulty equipment?” Schumer said.
Schumer wants the Federal Railroad Administration to get involved, saying with the feds “looking over the MTA’s shoulder it will make it far more likely for them to do it right this time.”
