Mayor Bill de Blasio delivered a lashing message to Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo from a camera-packed subway car in Brooklyn: You fix this. And don’t ask the city for any more money
The blunt words, delivered by a sweaty mayor in a train that ran smoothly for the four stops he traveled, was the most public attempt yet by Mr. de Blasio to show that he understands the problems faced by New Yorkers coping with a transit system plagued with delays.
The chairman of the state-run Metropolitan Transportation Authority, Joseph J. Lhota, countered soon after. “What we need is leadership, not photo ops,” Mr. Lhota said in a statement. “The mayor’s comments today were completely disingenuous, knowing that the M.T.A. is set to present its 30-day overhaul plan this week.”
