It's difficult for most transit agencies to maintain the sort of uptime that a social media company does.

But there should be no login wall on posts from government agencies (grey check).

A third party service who's contracted to do it would be the right move in that case. Operating critical processes through a company with no obligation to provide that service is dumb. The evidence is in the outcome here.

We trust the metro companies to run critical infrastructure for our cities, I am sure they can organise a website.

How about paying for Twitter Blue, in exchange for: (1) No login wall on content from transit agency

(2) Uptime SLA

This will be a lot more than $8/month of course, but likely less than contracting it out to the usual suspects of shady vendors.
