48% of New Yorkers have stopped paying pay to ride the bus. The city has realized that this cant go on forever, because the MTA who runs the subway/bus is broke, but now that a critical mass of people have stopped paying, the battle against fare evasion may already be lost...

Who's going to pay for city operations once all the locals are gone?
I don't believe in paying for public transit. This is a failure of Government. The Federal govt can simply give block grants on a per capita basis to State governments. If we want people to use less cars and emit less CO2 and incentivize the use of public transport then we should eliminate the cost of public transit. Let people RIDE FOR FREE.
@@BigL718 Fed govt can afford to pay for it. Its not a matter of money. Its matter of real labor and resources.
Whats the *factor* of criminals to non criminals
If they enforced all their laws, this wouldn't be a problem. They won't do anything about $900 shoplifting but they want to enforce $2 bus fair. Yea, that's not going to work.
Exactly. Catch poor Joe on the bus, don't stop Tyrone robbing
Two totally different things
@@Thunderbyrd. No, they're both theft. And they've basically given permission for larger theft by not doing anything.
Elections have consequences.
Culture & politics are too so-called progressive. Being both sensible & ethical ain't for the woke.
This makes me laugh. If you do not pay the $2.00 for the bus, the fair squad comes to get you. Steal $999 worth of goods from Macy's, you're good. No worries.
It's not stealing if it's under 1000 dollars😂😂😂😂
Not stealing until it affects them. They don't care about anyone else. Obviously, they don't care about the safety of the people of NY who support them. Wake Up.
now this you can blame on the plandemic
But does this apply to tax too?
Phenomenal point!
Excellent comment!🤣🤣🤣
Visited my very law abiding, good friend in NY back in 2021.
Paid every subway fair but didn’t pay bus fair once. He literally thought it was optional LOL 😂
NYC is dying...crime, high taxes, congestion, housing crisis, migrants, etc.
Obviously the bus drivers have been told to go along with it . The drivers don’t want to be assaulted.
Would you risk your life for $2.90 which goes to the company? Not me.
Or fired for enforcing it.
Why get hurt over city policy/apathy? I don't blame those drivers one iota
Socialism has apparently arrived. Rules for Radicals and Cloward and Piven plus Communist Manifesto.
I say. Make the price cheaper, but over-punish people not paying the toll. Make the low price tempting to pay, but the punishment so overblown it is diabolical. Not a dramatic price drop, but enough to cause a surge of buyers. NEVERMIND. 2 DOLLARS IS NOT THAT MUCH.
Having grown up in Chicago, I can tell you exactly where this leads.
-Bus service is cut to areas farthest from the city, which are typically low-income areas were residents heavily rely on public transportation.
-Residents in those areas face employment disparity because they cannot travel to higher paying jobs.
-Those areas see an increase in foreclosures and an increase in renters, leader to further economic strain
-This leads to increases in parent absenteeism, which leads to neighborhood decline and higher crime
-Parent absenteeism and higher crime leads to moral decay and social animosity
-The crime and moral decay eventually bleed out of specific neighborhoods and into more affluent areas
-In a city already struggling with crime, you begin to see "packs" of youth roaming the streets, looking for victims on whom they express their anger and animosity.
, then people like Big Mikey obammy will say there are public transportation desserts. An example would be like when the local super Walmart leaves an area ( bad neighborhoods) because of constant shoplifting. It's out of that same marxist playbook. Those types of politicians will go on about the only reason it's happening is because of White supremacy b.s.
Not anyone else's problem. If new york would actually keep people in jail that stole upwards of a thousand dollars, Maybe people would take the risk of a fine more seriously.
JS.
Almost sounds like it's planned.
So you're saying it's ok for all these thugs to commit crime. Whatever you say Brandon Johnson.

@@justsomeguy2943lol right. It's actually pretty obvious.
Here's the issue
As a bus driver I wouldn't argue with anyone over a fare

Why should citizens pay when non-citizens get everything free. The same thing goes on in Healthcare
Exactly plus they won't pay those fines 😂
I'm stopping right now, going to rob a taxi ride to a store steal $900 worth of stuff a day then sleep in a mansion that looked nice for the tagging. I'm an idiot and tagging grafetti is my life. Mow rons
The taxpayer's pay for their healthcare then when the taxpayer needs healthcare they have to pay for it. That wouldn't be right, would it ?
Exactly why I don’t pay I’m out here grind my ass off everyday for illegals to have there rent and food payed while receiving every single benefit America has to offer
I spent 16 hours in the ER one Friday night at my local hospital. My city has two hospitals with ER's. I am an EMT, which just makes it worse, because I know what is supposed to be going on.
I was given an IV bag, in the waiting room while sitting in a chair, where it's extremely unsanitary. Then, after the bag was done, the nurse asked me if I felt better. Really? Do you think giving me a liter of salt water is going to make me feel better??? Most of the people in the ER were not speaking English and this is what is going on here. People can be turned away from doctor's offices for not being able to pay, however no one can be turned away from an ER for not being able to pay... and that's a federal law. So, all of these people that are here illegally, are going to the ER's in droves. They are there ALL of the time, using ALL of our resources, paid by ALL taxpayers. It took me SIX hours to get a room. The RN told me that was fast and I honestly think it was because one of the nurses knew that I was an EMT.
I found out that I had diabetes and I was in diabetic shock. They did nothing for me. I was not given any medication, nor insulin. I had a rash on 20% of my body. I was seen by three ER doctors and none of them helped me. I got an emergency appointment at my regular doctor's office on the following Tuesday. One older doctor saw me, looked at my rash, and he told me that I had a fungal infection. He prescribed me an oral medication and some ointment... all in five minutes. I spent SIXTEEN HOURS in the emergency room. I saw three doctors. None of them could tell me that and help me??? The moral of this story is, stay out of the ER if you can. It's a death trap.
If you're not going to enforce serious crimes, why in the hell would anybody pay for bus fare?
Exactly!
Because the bus fees go to the government so they will enforce those fees. If stores that are not owned by the government get robbed and lose money or have to close down, then the government doesn't care about that!
@@1madscientist312 good point. Kinda like how they kept liquor stores open during the big Q...

All they care about is fare evasion people going through gates or turnstiles I've seen cops do nothing people piss smoke etc in public and nothing they pick on people who can't afford it they're legalized bullies the cops were always bullied in school and got no pussy 😂😂😂😂😂
Citizens see all the freebies given to the illegal migrants, and, they think why should I pay for the buses?
More likely the reason.
They shouldn't have to pay for public transit. They already do in their taxes!
The whole system is a scam. Yall just love being sheep so much.
Albuquerque NM has a totally free bus system. It's very successful.❤
Only fools pay a failing system
If shoplifting is okay then not paying bus fare should be okay as well. It’s a lot less than $1000. Per ride

Gee! That makes sense. Someone should tell the mayor.
The mbta in boston cant fix their trains or get a single bus to come at a reasonable delay (always at least 15-20 min late sometimes 30) theres no reason for this. We shouldnt have to pay for a service that doesnt work at all nvm how it’s supposed to, and not for nothing the bus drivers try to start fights even if u do pay. I agree with not paying and havent paid in 6 years bc i know they dont put their funds towards their own public transport services and they pay t cops more than ur regular city cop. They also send the funds other things as the t has been very politicized so technically if i do pay im putting it towards something i prolly dont agree with. Many reasons not to pay, and it doesnt operate and hasnt operated in years.
@RCenal use your words kid 😂
Stealing 1k of goods - crickets.
Not paying bus fare - Oh hell no!
I know isn't that bizarre? Lol steal millions from stores but react when people don't pay bys fare
Government property vs private property

Like a bad relationship or an incompetent manager, it seems people just choose what they care about or want to enforce on any given day while the whole situation goes down the drain...
Bus lanes are more useful than the useless bike lines
The state might not realize it yet, but when they started giving everything away for free - but to foreigners ONLY - they gave citizens permission to take and to use any state funded thing at all that they want.
Well, citizens pay their North American family's heritage money for governance, FOR CITIZEN SAFETY AND BORDER SECURITY; that is not being done.
Fifteen million illegal aliens invited into North America is more people than one province has in Canada.
Citizens already pay property taxes in cities, for infrastructure. Paying for public facilities, then being charged for usage is assinine, but has become normalized due to corporate funding by citizen governments.
If you can steal $1000 worth of anything you want from any store you want, why would you be expected to pay for public transportation?
$999.99 😂😂😂😂😂

@@thelogicallemon2630by your own logic then all the people shoplifting would create an even bigger loss then the half a billion for transport. But because the government looses no money that’s fine for them
You see where this is going? Now imagine how many people are NOT paying for utility and nobody tells you.
And how much money does it cost to go after $2?
Why doesn't The MTA just dig its hands into the migrant trust fund to bail them out.
Because that will deplete all the FEMA money just ask Mayorkas!

Almost like the deep state / The Left is actively sabotaging NYC and turning it into a Gotham like shithole....
They prey on the working person. I'm gd sick of it
Because fare evasion is money immidiately away from goverment, shoplifting not untill businesses disappear, and you have heard how some argue businesses should stay regadless of losses.
Rob Peter to pay paul...WTF
Well, they care when it's $2.90 out of their pockets but, not $999.99 from businesses.
Yes you’re right doesn’t make sense
Because it’s the cities money not other people’s money
If this is true Walmart can just send me my 999$ and I won’t steal
🎯💯 Exactly
its because that 2.50 is coming out of the City's pockets, the 999.99 is coming out of the corporation's pockets, steal from the City and the City don't like it steal from someone else and the City don't give a crap
Illegals can beat on the police, overtake homes, apartments and parks without repercussions. Why would I pay for bus fare???
Because the illegals should be deported, and with how you act perhaps so should you
Oh I don't know maybe because if most are on welfare and everything is free for a very large group of people they can at least show a little respect for the tax payers who work only to have their taxes go into a thieves pockets? It is never enough for these people??? Dirt!!!
Makes sense . Sad but true.
They also just walk on the bus without paying
It's the New Democrat Communism in practice
Fare evasion is a big problem in Toronto where I live. Especially on the street cars. You’ll often see transit officers wearing “fare enforcement” but when they board the bus/streetcar, they’ll announce their presence and intention to check fares. Then they wait 1-2 stops before proceeding. Anyone who’s skipped their fare has already gotten off and jumped on the next bus
WHY do you have to PAY for a bus when SOME PEOPLE are being HOUSED and FED for FREE?!?!?
Two things can be bad at once
@@mrgaudy1954the moral of the people who have lived and worked there is probably gone to crap and they just don’t care. I get two wrongs don’t make it right but how about they fix the big problem first. They are picking pennies in front of a steam roller.
@@EMan-cu5zo I don’t think the people skipping fares are generally the type who contribute much to the workforce of the city.

@@kitsunekaze93 Yes but no one wants to figure out WHY SO MANY people have SO MANY issues and problems; they just want to take OUR MONEY and throw a bandaid on it while it continues to bleed out while claiming to be virtuous.
THIS is NOT help.
Illegals getting $$ free, the bus should be free to everyone, since the govt seems to have so much cash that they can throw it to foreigners, how about paying the bus company and cut off the illegal handouts which are helping who exactly? Insanity.
They do give them annual metro cards. Don't worry, The bus and subway are free for them. Can't risk the chance of them getting caught not paying the fare and looking bad.
Remember the government prints fake money out of air that paying 10 billion so far for all migrants that went to multiple states and generous hand outs will be the undoing of every state and then become,one of the final nails for America coffin.
If the city can afford to pay billions to the illegal migrants then why can't I ride the bus/train for free?
Your right....this country doesn't respect hard workers they respect corruption
The fare has a secondary effect of screening out the troublemakers.
@@indiaannarie6023 excellent point! Free bus rides for everyone
@@poodlescone9700 Not if they're unable to keep these people off the bus without paying. What are you talking about? That doesn't even make sense. If there's no recourse or enforcement of "no pay no ride" then it doesn't keep ANYONE off the bus. HFS.
Just pretend the citizens are all veterans and then bammmm. No one cares about them being poor and on the streets
The same thing is happening in Houston, TX. I am convinced the drivers have been told to let anyone ride, money or not. You just ask them and they will say ok.
What people fail to realize is this type of behavior is contagious and spreads quickly!
Well said!
What you allow, you encourage.

I'm a Bus Operator in the Bronx. Also, from 2020 to 2023 the people who didn't pay also disrupted the service too. It was a nightmare for drivers and passengers
I was wondering about this. Are not the bus drivers supposed to make sure everyone who boards pays the fare??
The ttc in Toronto is so strict they try to make sure every one pays,but some people are crazy n the ttc drivers get assulted/verbally physically abused alot too. nyc should work with other transit systems within North America. To view data and set up new policies ... there's going to be complete chaos if the busses shut down in nyc😢.

NYC has been corrupt and mishandled our tax money which hasnt done anything to help us or keep us safe and it has only gotten worse. Why would people want to keep paying when there are no results? No progress? They are pocketing our money

So... steal thousands of dollars from businesses, that's fine and dandy. Steal $3 from the city, though... you're in hot water. Solid example of politics over people.

So the bottom line on New York government is that it doesn't matter what subject you are discussing, the government is actually promoting the lawlessness of the subject.
Over in Nassau County, bus drivers don’t play when it comes to passengers not paying the fare. They don’t move the bus and passengers will turn against the person who didn’t pay.
So that's not important what important is everything is collapsing slowly but you can see focus man. And by the way they do that sometimes in NYC but it sadly eds very bad for any fool that don't mind there business these days. So this understand it is over for America because the leaders did this not us and now we have 10 million need poor uselessigrants most of them Spanish and can't speak English .people will find a way to make the government pay for what they done prepare for civil war next .
Yup, I saw it myself when I used to work out by Great Neck lmao.
Most people pay fare where I live in Queens. Bus drivers will call out the few people who don't, but they also never really follow through on any threats they make.
I work in the Bronx though, and AT LEAST half of the riders don't pay.
Exactly!
Ugh, another thing I see now is, people eating food inside stores & placing empty packages or drinks on the shelves.
Probably so they can treat the store as a free buffet.
If MTA want to stop worrying about money. The MTA should stop wasting it.
MTA is corrupt like the rest of the U$, so wasting money is not a problem, as long as it can borrow. NYC is the most bankrupt of all U$ cities!
I've been screaming about this for 20 plus years. They don't enforce it and then you got people with the attitude of taking up two seats like they own the bus personally.

As a bus operator, it is too dangerous to ask riders to pay. There are ways to get riders to pay. In Jamaica, there is massive fare evasion and the riders have money. We pick up riders at Green Acres shopping mall and Terminal 8 at JFK. They can shop at the mall but have no money to pay the fare. Also, the people at Terminal 8 at JFK have money because they either work at JFK or are passengers on paying airlines. It is time to get the riders to start paying again.
have you had a chance to drive the electric new flyer buses?
The migrants figure it should be free anyway to get everything else free
you are the VOICE we need not only in NYC but the whole country!!! I was born and raised in Queens.. I'm now a Floridian.. for these very reasons.. What is wrong with you NYC ??!!!
Voting has consequences.
Yeah Man. I'm in Portland Oregon and when they defunded the police, people just started riding for free. Just to get bus drivers and train operators they had to offer an $11,000 sign on bonus because of all the violence and BS the drivers and operators had to put up with.
taxing folks who drive cars, to pay for people who skip paying on subway and busses, seems a bit unfair. and they let folks steal freely from stores, feels like the city is at fault for not enforce the laws and not prosecuting people.
Both pay taxes
I personally think taxing the cars is a good thing, since they do have a viable option if they are going into Manhattan, though I do agree that if we are going to tax drivers, we should also be enforcing fares on the transit
@@louisjohnson3755 that "viable option" only applies to those living in the city itself, that tax on cars is more impactful on people who commute into the city for work and the "viable" alternatives they have usually all cost twice as much as a full tank of gas would and that's for only TWO DAYS of traveling back and forth into the city, it's 100% not a good thing nor is it fair to charge those outside of the city limits for the actions of those within them
@@TheDXJC56 people out in the suburbs still have the commuter rail, even if they don’t live near a station, they can still drive to a commuter rail station, and it is much faster than taking a car. Also it is the rich who drive into the city not poor people. People keep calling congestion pricing regressive but are acting as if the people affected by it are poor, when in reality all of them are rich. If you were poor, you wouldn’t be owning a car in the first place. Also, commuter rail might be more expensive, but at least it’s a much better experience. On commuter rail, you don’t have to deal with the terrible traffic of nyc
@@louisjohnson3755 I'm sorry, do you think the LIRR and Amtrak are just free to use? Or are you just ignoring the fact that they cost over twice as much as any subway/bus fare? At the lowest you're paying basically $7 for a one way ticket, but that's only from places like Woodside where you have subways available, if you ACTUALLY live in LI or NJ it's easily $11 one way, so $22 a day? That's basically half a tank of gas, but yeah tell me more about how privileged people living outside NYC that use cars to get in are because the alternatives are so cost effective right? Also get real you're making some unbelievable assumptions about other people's lives, owning a car doesn't make you rich at all that's the most childish bullshit I've heard in my life 🙄
It's weird how someone can steal up to $1000 from a private company with no problem but steel $2 from the city and they want to do something.
The difference between state and FEDERAL.....ILLEGALS are Biden/Harris funded by IRS taxpayers. Bus fare is funded by NY taxpayers.
Coming next, pedestrian congestion tax to fund busses.
Send that message to diabolically incompetent (N.Y.C.) mayor adams😈 & city council surrogates-!!!🤗
Brilliant!!!
I thank God for giving me the opportunity to live my life far away from those hellholes we call cities.
Are you a Christian?
Realize how crappy they use our money they give themselves pay raises at the top and ask us for more money.
Yeah you can't fix stupid we know that already.
My friend's daughter lives in NYC - she could win a gold medal in turnstile jumping. When you ask her why, she says "why should I pay, no one else does!" 🤦
🤣🤣🤣
Good!
The fare is expensive. It adds up.
It used to be $0.10 to ride the bus 90's now they want $2.90 a trip with homeless people sleeping on them.
Its called Lack of integrity, why the hell do I care what other people do, I am not a Monkey. I do the right thing as best as possible in this life.
Hell I remember rush Limbaugh talking about public transportation in NY loosing money and being subsidized by other taxes 30 years ago. It's just a truth that anything government is so poorly ran it can't stand on its own. NY needs to sell it's fleet and subway system to an private company that will make it work.
AT THIS POINT, WHO OR WHY WOULD ANY CORPORATION WANT TO 🤔
And to be honest all my life I worked had an injury to my back made it very difficult to work long hours I don't qualify for food stamps of more than $12 it took them 6 days to provide me that and I had to result in searching for pantries for little closets and fridges that they have on the streets of Albany sometimes you never find anything and I have to donate to be able to feed myself it is beyond me how we have been left abandoned in our own country like we were less than those who are coming through those borders what happened to all of us that served this country no place to live you're not trying to help anybody those migrants for poured in here with an agenda and it's not good for us all our lives we live a certain way now we don't know anything anymore the culture is different the crime is different and now we are all having to worry even more than what we were
Stop giving freeloading immigrants 20k a month, and the city would have more than enough for riders who don't pay for lousy service. Some can't afford to pay. Common sense!
As a newyorker, I used to take the bus everyday. I stopped paying because they were in bad condition, had roaches and homeless people and it was always extremely packed from people riding for free. I'd rather walk the half mile everyday then ride the bus for free. And I don't think giving newyork money would help, they have had BILLIONS to work on subways and buses but all they do is waste all the money on the closest stations to wall street and forget everything else and let me add they make it inconvenient to put money on your metrocard because they are trying to phase out cash so they usually turn off one of the machines. It's like they WANT you to jump the turnstiles
True many cities will collapse because of greed
I’m a MTA bus operator and I love to see this finally starting
Yo, bro, I went to the Bronx, and NOBODY paid their fare (I live by Chinatown) I had asked the driver if it was one of the free buses. He said, no. I was like 😳. That's wild af.
@@elialmonte07 What a shitty society.
Here in Argentina, bus fares are distance based, so you have to tell the driver where you want to go. And if you even try getting on through the back doors, the driver will either see you and kick you out or a passenger will rat you out and the driver will kick you out
and i know what you might say "but this is NYC! the driver cant kick people off! thats dangerous!" to which i say: i live in BUENOS AIRES, if you know about the city, you know there are more poor people here than in nyc (and i know poor =/= dangerous but many people think that) and there arent that many driver assaults
Sounds like a system to me
We have UNIONS and no driver will jeopardize their retirement over a fight for a fare.
In India something similar, but we have an extra person other than the driver taking care of collecting fair etc
The Gift of Democrat Socialism keeps taking and driving our cities into ruin.
Give even one example of this.
We live in The Age of the Child, where personal entitlement rules all.
What is driving our cities and our towns and our villages into ruin is a lack of democratic socialism. Money grabbing by special interests is making everything unaffordable.
If people are put in undesirable situations, then it is to be expected if they take desperate actions.
@@rabokarabekian409 Actually it's the private corporations, doing things more efficiently, that make things affordable. Keep your bread lines like the good old USSR--we don't want them here.
@@rabokarabekian409 Socialism is the manifestation of entitlement on the societal level. Try again after reading the Communist Manifesto and the policies of the Democratic Socialists of America's actual policies. It requires basic knowledge of economics first, though. Read more, talk less.
Rabid and corrupt capitalist system, run by either dem$wine or rep$wine can not be socialist at all.
@@rabokarabekian409
Democratic Socialist meetings are hilarious.
There’s at least one on UA-cam. Funnier than SNL.
Maybe if New York stopped giving all this free money for all these people coming in because they’re taking out our taxes😂😂😂
It doesn't start with New York. Remember that charities and nonprofits have *been making money since 2014.*
If you think non-profit organizations have only been making money since 2014, then😂@@Code7Unltd
As people should since the city wants to give illegal immigrants everything under the sun.
No they should pay, and the illegal immigrant should be deported
Two wrongs do not make a right.
@kelljanesmith you're right but there's also fight fire with fire.
@@MrRoku4474 quit voting blue, that's how you fight fire, fire does not extinguish fire.
@@MrRoku4474 can you identify the two fires in this context
This is one good thing about a private company running the bus services. They would not let the fair evaders get away with it. Instead, the local authority would raise a tender for their expected bus service and bus companies would put in bids. The companies who can run the services with the lowest subsidy would win the contract. As long as the companies have a track record of running bus services reliably in the past, and if the companies false to provide reliable services the companies get stripped of the contract with a charge.
If they have all that free money for illegals then they should have free money for the PUBLIC transportation.
Not many people left with good morals in this country anymore 😥
Especially big city people. Rural tends to respect each other and laws
Nah there's people with morals just not in any democrat strongholds those people sold their morals away that's why everything is so expensive there
No... there are, just not in Democrat run places.
Stop being naiive fool and look who those people skipping fare are
Well I've never met a liberal that didn't think a sliding scale morality was bad. Never been a relativist position they couldn't get on board with.
If I stick your head in the toilet .... that's not bullying.
If you stick my head in the toilet ... that IS bullying.
This is liberalism, IMO, in a nutshell.
The MTA will never be broke there subsidized by the government tell the MTA to stop purchasing vehicles for all the supervisors to go home with and drive around with, and they will have money for all the fair beaters is falling apart because of all the people up above
Exactly
that part!
I live in South Brooklyn and until now I see signs on buses saying fare required, are people so stupid they think bus are free?
Probably.
When the leader of the department of transportation believes some roads are racist, you know idiocy & opportunists with no respect for law will increase.🇺🇸👎
roads cannot be racist because theyre black, the lines on the road however, which one is on top, i mostly see yellow, some divided white.
Agree
No shit! This is one effed up administration!
A non living thing is racist?Everything is racist 😂.
You probably are.
They win when we're quiet
You have far more power than simply speaking.
Absolutely
Vote Republican. You have nothing to lose. Give it maybe 5 years of voting out all Democrats and see if things improve.
@@linhaton4957 Do the test: You had Dems for more than five years. Have things improved? So, what makes you think another few years of Dems will make things better again (great again)?
Thereyago.
@ I don’t think that.
Why don't divert money they spend on illegal immigrants and spend it on the MTA?
Liberals' gonna liberal.
I'm sorry, but that sounds too much like what used to be C.O.M.M.O.N. S.E.N.S.E.
And it would go against the UN and their NWO@@kimberlyhicks3644
Illegal immigrants work harder
@houseofbryks_ there not working in NYC
Ever thought about our students who don't have a source of income and having to pay $2.90 both ways every day for example is just impossible
This is the essence of 'equity.' Where lazy, dishonest people live off the money generated by the honest, working class.
I want my equity of free time from these losers who have nothing to do all day but complain about equity
equity means i have free reign over the fruits of your labor bc, when im sick we sick. i quit working 2 1/2 yrs ago because of this, 200k income taxes not paid bc i refuse, ill just live on the streets, when i was courting a woman and she decided that a doper from mexico was more valualble than a 250k software engineer im done.
Equity doesn't take into account that most of the life outcomes are dictated by your own choices... so why should people who made good choices be stuck paying for the people who don't contribute? This is the problem with every leftist policy.
@russell-gt1dy If you want free time, youre free to get off of YT, or not read posts. There's your equity.
This is the best comment right here!.
Out In Brooklyn on L line , Officers stopped a man for fare evasion and the guy pulls out a knife and threatened to kill the officer , Officer fires shots aboard a train and several injured now the community marching to ride free and officers involved are being treated like criminals and the MTA talking about upgrading the system with new buses and trains costing Billions !
😂
The MTA was always a disaster - I worked there until I retired.
If there wasn't money to be pocketed, they would've already shut it down
They say they lost $315 million in 2022... let's be honest, they lost nothing because they never had that money in the first place
$2 each please. Discounted monthly, yearly fares paid in full in advance.
The only time NY lays down the law, is when you owe them money!
I grew up with my parents telling me how NYC used to be in the 80s, and how it was eventually fixed by really cracking down on crime. It's insane to think that we're literally back at square one. The people in charge have squandered everything
was the 1970's actually. but ok. like i said many times it's the NY cycle. vote left a few times city goes to total crap. they cry then vote right a time or 2. they fix it all up. then the dims vote left again. driving it back down to trash level. rinse repeat.
Slight correction:
People not paying for the bus fare mostly isn’t because the evaders don’t think it’s worth the price. They likely think it’s a good price, but if they think they can get away with not paying, they won’t.
Slight correction? 😂 I love how you’re acting as if your 2 cents are facts. Cute.
@@chrisel4349 your insight will be noted in the book of misguided fools.
What do you expect to increase fares and reduced service. Cash Jordan take a look at the annual budget for the MTA look in the section on their salaries. That's why the MTA has no money
City being broken down. Socialism comes in to save the day. The people of NY wanted this since they selected leadership who enable it. They should not complain. Rules for Radicals and Cloward and Piven.
