The MTA took over seven formerly private bus companies in the Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn and Westchester approximately 12 to 13 years ago. It is well past the time that they bring these MTA Bus employees in line with New York City Transit and Manhattan and Bronx Surface Transit Operating Authority employees in regard to a transit 25-year, age 55-pension, otherwise known as Transit 25/55.
They do the same work in the same city. This has been done in the past when the IRT and the BMT were taken over in 1940 by the forerunner of the MTA, and also when MABSTOA was given a mirror pension to the then-Transit Authority employees in 1972.
