Of course it will - probably even longer. Those organizations are abject disasters. Incompetent, corrupt and completely unwilling to do anything unless it benefits the legions of special interest scumbags who have made a lucrative career out of overpriced and poorly run contracts, or politicians looking to score votes.
I've spent a good amount of time working in Massachusetts politics, home of three speakers of the house (the current guy may very well make #4) in a row who are convicted felons, a notoriously corrupt probation department, a shockingly mismanaged department for human services and of course, the Big Dig which only went
ten times over budget (it was supposed to cost 2 billion and ended up costing 20 billion). I can only surmise that the PA and MTA are even worse organizations.
