Fair Hike?
The MTA voted this morning to increase fares and cut service. This fare hike will raise the monthly metro card from $81 to $103. A one way ride will now cost you $2.50. Get ready to start paying more on May 31st unless those jerks in Albany can do something about it. A fare increase this large will crush the already suffering working class. There are alternatives to avoiding these cuts and hikes that don’t involve handing the MTA a bailout, like increasing bridge tolls or more aggressive advertising strategies. MTA Chairman Richard Ravitch has a rescue plan. Contact your representative in the State Senate (Find out your district here and find your senator here) and tell them how you feel. Or get ready to ride your bike everywhere.
