David,

Why do you think it is that successive WMATA heads, including guys who seem to "get it" and are talented administrative and transit professionals, have all been unable "to reform the insular culture" and "show the public that it is managing repair funds effectively."

The only answer I can come up with is that they have all been afraid that greater transparency will reveal just how rotten everything is in the state of Metro - that Metro is not now, nor has it in a long time (if ever), been effectively managing much of anything. If you know that your entire organization is massively dysfunctional but also extremely resistant to change, how apt are you going to be to reveal that to the world?
