Hey Id rather people pay something then nothing at all.

Tail of two economies.

How can the current fare be too expensive? Minimum wage will be 15 per hour by the end of the year, less than half an hour of work provides your round trip money or the day

The only people "paying" are people that are working professionals. $250 million dollars down the drain annually.

De Blasio is always caving in

I hope he’s all talk this time, as well.

Just keeping a running count of how BdeB and this some kind of piece of city council reaches into my back pocket.


Free feminine hygiene products for the "poor".


Free diapers for the "poor".


Free legal assistance in housing court for the "poor".


Free "one shot deal" back rent payments (which aren't once and rarely paid back) for the "poor".


Free housing (shelters, hotels, vouchers, etc....) for the "poor"


Free healthcare for "the poor"


And so it goes and now this new fresh hell is being piled on.


You want to wonder why bother and getting up to earn for a living. BdeB and city council are packing a pair of 38DD's for any and everyone to nurse from; come one come all.

Email your representatives.

Tell them 250 million can go towards the numerous after school programs for all kids the city claims they have no money for. Also parks and fixing these god damn sinkholes that keep on popping up around the city.

I would be more keen to support this if it came with stronger enforcement of fare evasion.

[Wakanda18]

At this point 250 million should go to bringing back state mental institutions. We need it
