Outgoing MTA boss Joe Lhota -- at what could be his last public event as MTA chief --was mum today about whether he would jump into the race for mayor.
"We're here to talk about the MTA," Lhota said after promoting a new app that allows riders on the numbered subway lines to know when trains will arrive in 156 subway stations. "We're not here to talk about politics."
Lhota's press conference was at Grand Central Terminal. The MTA Subway Time program will have the same real time information that is available from subway station electronic countdown clocks. The app can be downloaded from the Apple store from an iPhone, iPad and iPod, for example.
He officially steps down as MTA chairman on Jan. 1 as he weighs a bid to run for mayor.
"Starting next week I'm just going to be a regular customer again," he said.
