Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

COMPARED with the rigours of New York's run-down roads, aerial combat is, as the RAF used to say, a piece of cake. Grumman, well known as a maker of military aircraft and supplier of 637 gimmicky new buses to the city transport authority, has suffered the ignominy of their complete "grounding" because or chassis cracks. One collapsed under its load.

Exhortations to bus passengers to transfer to the subway have been of little avail because the neglected railway tracks have caused many of the new air-conditioned trains to crack up as well. Nobody can say that New York does not have a cracking transport system.
