It is well settled, as a matter of law, that the MTA's functions regarding public transportation are limited to financing and planning, and do not include the operation, maintenance, and control of any facility. The MTA is not vicariously liable for the torts of its subsidiaries such as MTA Bus Company. The MTA and its subsidiaries are not responsible for each other's torts, and they must be sued separately.
