North America’s largest transportation network has suspended the use of Twitter for service alerts, saying the “reliability of the platform can no longer be guaranteed”

North America’s largest transportation network suspended the use of Twitter for service alerts Thursday, saying the “reliability of the platform can no longer be guaranteed.” The Metropolitan Transportation Authority, which serves 15.3 million passengers across a 5,000 square-mile area surrounding New York City, Long Island, New York State and Connecticut, also said their access to Twitter through its Application Programming Interface was involuntarily interrupted twice over the last two weeks.

“The MTA does not pay tech platforms to publish service information and has built redundant tools that provide service alerts in real time,” MTA’s Acting Chief Customer Officer Shanifah Rieara said in a statement. “Those include the MYmta and TrainTime apps, the MTA’s homepage at MTA.info, email alerts and text messages.” “Service alerts are also available on thousands of screens in stations, on trains and in buses,” Rieara said.
