MTA Ditches Twitter for Service Alerts.
TL;DR Summary
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) will no longer post service alerts and information on Twitter due to doubts about the platform's reliability. The MTA is directing riders to its website, apps, and email or mobile alerts instead. The MTA's access to publish service alerts was suspended last week and again this week, and Twitter has become more turbulent as users attempt to parse Elon Musk's confusing rollout of paid verification.
