MTA is scamming the NYC public and with the profits they are making, they should lower the fare. The amount of individuals using mass transit can definitely support the operating costs. HELP THE CITIZENS! Everything is going up except our salaries. Give NY a break!

Remember, they also had two books so they could get concessions from the transit workers' union.

Rates don't need hiking for the MTA to have the kind of profit margins it needs for global domination. Instead, the company could hire the many unemployed in NYC to roam the underground panhandling, playing synthesizers, break dancing, building financial models on Excel spreadsheets--whatever they can do to profit from pity. For too long has the MTA left this lucrative segment of its business model to the bereft.
