Do you use the MTA? If so, a regular commuter or infrequently? Also, what county do you live in?

I get hosed travelling weekly from Nassau to Westchester to visit a nursing home; utilizing the Whitestone or Throggs Neck bridges.
I don't think there is anything more unfair then having to pay to travel between suburban counties when your toll money will never go towards a bridge that will cut that long travel time in half.

I also take the LIRR into Manhattan once if not twice a week, and from there generally one subway train.

When I commute into school I also take the LIRR to the A Train.

No, the MTA uses me. Daily, without remorse.
