The Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) manages mass transit in the New York City metropolitan area. Its mission is promoting subways, buses etc., striving to keep cars from clogging up the streets, but they’re hypocrites.

Hypocrisy: the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one’s own behavior does not conform.
Finishing off work on Midtown Access, the MTA removed ugly fencing, but instead of returning the space to its original condition, they paved the space no longer in use.
