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.

" FIT FOR A KING "

Lebron " KING " James must feel really special. Within the next two years he will be courted by everyone from Jay-Z to Warren Buffett. He has a chance to be beyond a Mega-Star. Tiger who? Michael?

There is a chance that in the right market Lebron can be the Biggest Sport figure ever seen. That being said, he still plays for the Cleveland Caviliers and he must show some loyalty. However, I believe if Cleveland does not reach the NBA finals by 2010 it's ALL SHE WROTE!

Can you see it,#23 in a NY Knicks uniform? We just might get a change if Lebron chooses Madison Square Garden as his home. With the trades recently done by the Knicks, they can throw enough money at Lebron and also Dwayne Wade, Chris Bosh or Amare as a possible team mate for bait. Who wouldn't bite? The engagement has just been proposed, now it's upon Lebron to accept the marriage.
