"MTA" is "ATM" spelt backwards
I can't believe those thieves are calling for another fare hike. Are they insane, stupid, or do they somehow WANT their retarded proposal to crash and burn, because how could they possibly think this will stand? They've been found guilty of corruption and their workers had to strike for more pay, and now they're telling us they need ever-more money after already jacking up the fare twice. The city has been in a recession all year and every raise in the fare is like a tax hike on the working poor. I've had to drastically cut back on taking the bus this year because the 2 dollar fare is already unaffordable for me. Borough President Molinaro says we all need to do our part, as if that bastard rides the bus. I don't see Molinaro doing his part for Staten Island by asking that the MTA back down. How many Islanders work in Manhattan and need to take mass transit every day?
