broken elevators and escalators

[mattdm [typekey.com] (from livejournal.com)]

*Sigh* Because the T repeatedly goes with lowest-bid contractors, regardless of past performance or any ability of the bidder to actually provide the promised service. The elevator contractor, Kone, clearly can't keep up. When the contract came up for renewal, the MBTA promised they'd get someone better, but, surprise, they ended up resigning with Kone -- this time, with a _more generous contract_. Because hey, punch me again, and maybe it won't hurt this time. It's like the Breda cars on the Green Line....

Department stores and malls never have broken escalators. The T should use whatever contractors the malls do.
