Your experience was caused in part by the “tragedy of the commons”. Basically any public resource will be [ab]used and depleted because people act in their own self-interest rather than in the common good. See also “people littering in parks” and “really gross public transportation”.

Bingo. A lot of the budget goes towards obscenely high salaries and just straight up embezzlement. The MTA needs to be completely transparent about where its budget goes, because I can guarantee that a large portion of their money goes nowhere useful.
