Episode Details

The MTA’s bus division is under fire for closing over 100,000 work orders without proof repairs were done — a troubling pattern that echoes last year’s findings of 400,000 similar issues. Despite claims that safety isn’t compromised and new rules requiring explanations for missing labor hours, internal records show 116,000 orders were marked complete with no evidence of actual fixes. Pressure to keep buses running has led to deferred repairs — like a steering-defective bus back on the road for weeks after mechanics flagged worn parts. Officials insist faulty buses aren’t deployed and cite warranty repairs as reasons for missing labor costs, but the widespread lack of documentation across union locals raises serious questions about accountability and public safety.
