If you don&#x27;t like the Delhi comparison, I linked to lots more. Land prices, wages and benefits are pretty high in Singapore, Spain, Japan and Hong Kong.<p>An incremental change would be to start replacing MTA employees with Spanish, Indian or Hong Kongian contractors who can get the job done without featherbedding. Probably nothing but more money for the people currently robbing us will be &quot;politically acceptable&quot;.<p>And yes, actually putting them in jail would be something I oppose - if you couldn&#x27;t tell, that was a bit of hyperbole.
