I was watching that movie "The taking of Pelham 123" last week. This is a movie that was filmed in 1973 (released 1974) and I could not believe how absolutely NOTHING has changed in the NYC subway system. Same exact cars, same exact sleazy depressing subway stations. I even took screen caps of it to show friends (I grew up in NYC). This a movie that was made 47 years ago and NOTHING has changed. They've raised the price of a subway ride from .35 cents to $3.00 and NOTHING has changed.

Buried the lede but sounds like it is working out.
>>On Friday, the MTA dropped its legal challenge. While the Berman’s map and the MTA’s both show the system’s lines, Berman’s does not use the MTA’s distinctive route symbols.
Berman says his map will again be sold on Etsy. He’s invited the MTA to be a customer.

If this was a government agency then I do not think it could claim copyrite. But the MTA is a New York state public benefit corporation which "operate like quasi-private corporations, with boards of directors appointed by elected officials, overseeing both publicly operated and privately operated systems. Public authorities share characteristics with government agencies, but they are exempt from many state and local regulations. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metropolitan_Transportation_Authority
Meaning they can restrict freedom of speech etc. in ways or degrees the gov. cannot on public property .
