Context & Analysis
Systemic delays on the MTA network represent a massive, unrecorded tax on the working public. By converting lost minutes into lost wages, we can better understand the true cost of deferred signal maintenance.
Methodology and Assumptions
This model simplifies dynamic variables for the purpose of generalized estimation. We rely on publicly available data from state and city comptroller offices, updated quarterly. Readers should not construe output as definitive financial advice.
- Model assumes constant rates across variable timeframes.
- Inflation is not factored into nominal multi-year projections.
- Regulatory overrides are ignored in baseline assumptions.
