-- Staffing shortages that have plagued the MTA for months are still causing delays in the subway system.
If anyone knows New York City's transit system, it's Sharon Goldstein. She's been riding the city's buses and trains nearly all her life. In recent years, Goldstein has seen significant upgrades on her rides. But with trains and buses getting more crowded after the peak of the pandemic, Goldstein has also noticed significant delays.

At an annual event calling attention to the city's slowest bus routes, Davey blamed some of the transit issues on staffing shortages, which caused 25 percent of weekday train delays in June.
