As a former NY'er that lives here now I think of "The MTA" as a NY group and Metro as an LA group...but, I'll make sure to clarify when I bring over a story from NY Streetsblog or SF Streetsblog in the future.

Now that you are no longer a solely New York based entity, could you please stop referring to the New York City Metropolitan Transportation Authority (or is it the MTA of New York State now?) as "The MTA"?? See we've got a Los Angeles County MTA which likes to call itself "Metro" but still gets bandies about as "the MTA" and then the folks up in the Bay Area also had to get in on the fun and they now have a San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency. So you see, referring the "MTA" confuses us left-coasters. Use the full name or acronym! Hey Streesblog!
