   In certain cases, some MTA units still retain their old   
   names, like TBTA and MaBSTOA.  Over time, units may be   
   reorganized or renamed and the old names discontinued.   
      
   The latest MTA annual report or other internal documents   
   (available on their website) sheds some light on this.   
      
   MTA isn't unique in this.  Even though Verizon supposedly   
   replaced the old Bell names, in the fine print, the old   
   name of Bell Telephone Company of ..." continued to appear   
   for many years after Vz came along.   
      
   However, I think among the general public, "TA" is now   
   obsolete even if it still exists legally.
