 The Metropolitan Transportation Authority's protracted efforts to ward off terrorist threats to the subways, trains, and buses came under withering criticism yesterday from members of a City Council committee who charged that it had made little progress in the years since the Sept. 11, 2001, attack. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority's protracted efforts to ward off terrorist threats to the subways, trains and buses came under withering criticism yesterday from members of a City Council committee who charged that it had made far too little progress in the years since the Sept. 11, 2001, attack. The members of City Council said that most of the planned security improvements would be late in coming and that the contract with Lockheed Martin, approved last August after the bombing of the London subway system, might have been signed in haste.
