Governor Paterson expressed his disappointment about a proposed MTA fare hike next year, telling reporters, "Another fare hike this soon after the last fare hike, just in my opinion, is not wise. This just cannot become the new way that the M.T.A. solves problems. Every time there is an issue, pass along the increase.” He wants the MTA to "explore other options." It doesn't seem like Paterson will offer up any state money, since he's worried about lower state tax revenue this year.

Hmm ... another "words, but no action"
put your money where your mouth is, magoo.
Maybe he should have taken the money he's promised for more stupid research into the evils of videogames and sent it to the MTA instead.
It's simple: everyone wants subway service and no one wants to pay for it.
Subway service should be free and government/tax funded.
#3- But he can't even see what the video games are about, so...
let's see if he can do something other than just cheat on his wife.
that means a slice of pizza is going up again too - fuck me!
All talk and no action.
I think I'll start riding my bike more.
Maybe he should propose a fare-stabilization law...but then he'd keep all the Metrocards.
I want buses... more buses... better routes...
I want AC'd subway stations...
I want to pay 300$ a month for a subway pass and eat lobster on the cars...
but its not going to happen...
I pay 81 and get pushed into a car with 300 other people... when I travel off-peak I get harassed for money by "bums" (who dress nicer then I do)
and finally the system is really accessible for all those with strollers and kids :) thanks for those who like to pee in the elevators
Outside of its downtown area, Seattle's bus fees are distance-based. Downtown, they're free...and clean.
I'm glad he's taking a stand on this, even if it's words without action; there were enough politicians standing up against congestion pricing as a "tax on the middle class" that it would've been absurd for nobody to point out the same about a fare hike.
