The average MTA employee made $70 thousand in 2010 [1]. That’s nearly $80 thousand today [2].

In those data, one sees Mr. Arthur Harkin, a Long Island Rail Road conductor, made $195,000. ($220 thousand in 2017 dollars.)

So about the same as the average CRUD app developer? This doesn't seem outrageous to me.

But CRUD app developers are most precious resources on earth. Other people should not really exist after providing services, food, security and on demand rides etc.
