In this episode of Progressive Action TV, we expose the staged performances behind MTA leadership’s subway visits. When Governor Kathy Hochul, MTA Chairman Janno Lieber, and MTA President Demetrius Crichlow ride the subway, they bring advance security teams and cleaning crews, creating a Potemkin village—a polished, misleading display designed to convince the public that everything is safe and functional.

But what’s the reality for everyday riders and workers? We dive into the truth about safety, cleanliness, and the disconnect between leadership’s orchestrated visits and the daily struggles of those who depend on the system.

🔥 Key Points We Cover:

• What is a Potemkin village, and how does it apply to the MTA? • The staged reality versus the daily challenges faced by riders and transit workers.

• Why MTA leadership remains out of touch with the system’s real problems.

• How we can demand transparency and accountability from the people in charge.

📢 Call to Action: Don’t let staged performances define the narrative. Share your experiences, comment below, and join us in advocating for real change in public transit.

Together, we can hold leadership accountable and push for a subway system that truly works for everyone.
