The T : The Tony Clifton of Public Transit Agencies

Loud, obnoxious, dresses in 70's era frilly tuxes, a legend unto himself, never on time, always swipes at critics, sings way off key...Tony Clifton was it. But he always managed to keep people talking about when he'd show up next, and who was really behind him...Andy Kaufman? Bob Zmuda?

The Idea Critic sez the T has no friends. When you don't show up on time, show up filthy, have loud, obnoxious employees, and write press releases about yourself that no one in the public would believe, you're not going to get many friends. The friends you do get, however, will only care about you if they can manipulate you to their maximum advantage, before they dispose of you like a day-old newspaper. On the other hand, if you don't care what other people think, that too can work to your advantage.
