The MTA is once again sounding the alarm, threatening a return to the dreaded “Summer of Hell” if New York City doesn’t come up with billions for its massive $64.8 billion capital plan, according to a front page story in today's New York Post. Despite touting its “great service,” the agency is pushing for a $4 billion commitment from the city—an amount that could rise as state and federal funding remain uncertain.
With subway and bus fares set to jump to $3 in August, riders are already feeling the squeeze. Should the city cave to the MTA’s demands, or is it time for a different approach? This as the MTA is losing hundreds of millions of dollars to fare evasions. The New York Post has the full story—let us know what you think in the comments below!
