MTA

As a writer of my blog, I have spoken to individuals who rely
on public transportation and ride the subway and buses.
We all believe the MTA is not being straight. They always claim to be
loosing money, but lets be serious, they own 9 bridges, 23 subway lines, and 386 bus lines.

NOW, they are making increases, ridership is at an all time high and service seems to never improve. So how are they strapped for cash? Only the MTA can cut service and raise fares at the same time, and anguish people.

There has to be other means to meet projections other then raising fares and cutting service. Why not offer off-peak fares on the bus and subway lines like the LIRR? Why not cancel serving alcohol on LIRR, there has to be other ways!

Your input can be helpful. Those of you who are fed up and have suggestions on beating a fare hike, please advise by responding in the comment box.
