Maybe I'm just bitter because I'm extorted to the tune of $1500+ a year to pay for this crap.

How can they make a profit when they pay their employees so well with excellent benefits? They also rape the public on bridge and tunnel tolls! Crooks, ALL of them, from the top on down.
If you want to see the most incompetently run and most wasteful use of of taxpayer funds, look no further than the MTA and Port Authority of NY/NJ. If they were private entities run with any hint of accountability, they would have been bankrupt and out of business many years ago. Instead, we have the bloated, corrupt mess we see today.
