MTA Fair Hike - an affront to capitalism

Suzie · 03-07-2003, 03:29 PM

Well the almost transit strike showed us who REALLY runs the city. The heads of the MTA, people I didn't elect, control how we get everywhere, when and for how much. It's a Catch-22, after the hike millions of straphangers won't be able to afford to use public transportation to come to work, and of course they can't afford to not work in NYC either. Plus their shutting down all part-time token booths, where are all those former clerks gonna work?
I'm pissed.....

It's not about affording the single $2, altogther its at least an extra $300 a year for the same slow subpar service that you have no choice but take because one agency controlls every train, bus and tunnel.

Arpiz martian dollarz have a good exchange rate with our dollar

Suzie · 03-07-2003, 05:08 PM

Yeah, for those of us that just make ends meet $300 is a make or break amount. if your salary just covers your bills, you don't have that extra $300. Guess Starbucks yuppies like you can't fathom that.

WHat's wrong with the length of my hair?

they've been teasing a fare hike for well over a year now - not that it I like it, but I'm not surprised, especially with the city crying poverty at every turn.

Just try to shift your budget for an extra $0.50 - it's not like they doubled it.
