Default new: manager for each subway line

The MTA is experimenting with a manager for each of the lines, whose
responsibilities include maintenance, customer relations, _and
scheduling_. How is that supposed to work on the large number of lines
that share tracks with other lines? (It may be fine for the first two
that will follow the new system, the 7 and L, but after that??)

Last I heard, they do, but only low-fare farecards.

Where?

Every station I use has a big, handwritten sign about No Money, No
Cards in the booth.
