Is this a reference to something specific or just made by someone who doesn't ride the subway? Feels vaguely "the cities are from infested hell holes!" conservative pearl clutch to me, but maybe I'm out of the loop.

If they didn't want it to be a specific criticism, it wouldn't say "NYC".

I assume they choose NYC in particular because its a three letter acronym that could sound like it would fit in with other three letter fighting organizations.

Fair enough. "MTA" would have been funnier and more specific. Either way it still seems like a pointed dig.
