Other than the interlocking boards, there is no legal connection between the authorities. The MTA is able to control the TA because the governor and the mayor have agreed to appoint only members of the MTA board to the TA board. In fact, there is no legal connection between the New York City Transit Authority (TA) and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA). Current plans are to split MTA New York City Transit into MTA Subways (which would also take over MTA Staten Island Railway) and MTA Bus Company (which would also take over MTA Long Island Bus, and has already taken over from several private operators). The PR name of the New York City Transit Authority is MTA New York City Transit.
These popular names differ from the legal names, which are used in all contracting and legal matters, and are used on public notices, maps, publications, vehicles and stations. As part of a public image campaign, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority has assigned "PR" names to each of its affiliates and subsidiaries.
