UPCLOSE: NYC Transit, political race for NYC's 14th congressional district
Bill Ritter speaks with Sarah Feinberg, the interim president of the New York City transit system.

NEW YORK CITY (WABC) -- Who would want to be president of the MTA's New York City Transit and oversee all those subways with nearly 500 stations, millions of riders, and the biggest public transportation system in North America? Then there are New York City buses--4000 of them with hundreds of millions of riders a year?

Andy Byford lasted as president for two years. Sarah Feinberg, the interim president of the New York City transit system, is more than willing to take on this massive challenge.

Coming up--we talk to Ms. Feinberg about what passengers can expect under her leadership.

Bill Ritter speaks with political candidate Michelle Caruso-Cabrera.

Michelle Caruso-Cabrera picked a big race for her maiden voyage--challenging one of the most popular members of the freshman class in congress--representative Alexandria Coasio-Cortez.

So why did the former television journalist enter this particular race against this particular congresswoman? We ask her this morning.
