'If there's been a theme to my first 10 months as president of New York City Transit, it's that customer service is my North Star.'
We feel comfortable moving forward with phase two after the success of our first wave. According to our “flush counter,” the bathrooms have been used more than 35,000 times overall since January, with men’s rooms far outpacing women’s in usage – 27,000 flushes to 8,400. There have been no significant safety issues or cleanliness complaints from customers or employees, and none of the bathrooms have had to close for maintenance repairs either.
Transit’s second exciting announcement is that new R211 subway cars are rolling into passenger service on theA line. The new cars with cutting edge design and technology feature wider doorways to speed boarding and improve accessibility, built-in security cameras throughout the train and digital displays in every carThis is the kind of energy we need to build on the gains we’re starting to see on customer satisfaction.
The Buses team is similarly crushing it, maintaining 96% service-delivered for the second month in a row. Satisfaction has improved on all key indicators since the new year, led by reduced wait times, which improved by 5 percentage points. We’re now just one point away from hitting our North Star goal of 70% overall satisfaction for the month of February. Access-A-Ride Paratransit service has already beaten it, with 77% satisfaction.
None of this would be possible without the 47,000 hardworking men and women of New York City Transit, who – far from resting on their laurels – are constantly looking for ways to further improve service. I look forward to breaking more records together in March and beyond.
