New York City Transit
New York City Transit, the largest arm of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, began the project in 1999 after years of planning. Nabil N. Ghaly, chief signal engineer in the department of capital program management at New York City Transit, said that it was a gradual implementation of technology. New York City Transit tried to remove the conductors from the L, arguing that their traditional role to open and shut doors and make announcements had become obsolete.
