Disabled transit activist Michael Harris has been on a roll these days.
Ove the past week he got the AP to cover his battle with the MTA to make more stations handicapped accessible. The story was picked up nationwide.
And last week, he ripped the MTA at a City Council hearing on Access-A-Ride.
He also seemed to win an ally in Councilman John Liu, chairman of the council transportation committee.
After the hearing Liu said:
While the MTA has responded to rider criticism by increasing service available, the number of contractors, and the variety of vehicles available, more can be done to improve the cost, efficiency,
and quality of service provided through Access-a-Ride. Based on their own customer satisfaction surveys, the MTA consistently earns a 'C+' for their operation of Access-a-Ride.
