New Yorkers know that the MTA has a monopoly on public transport, they keep raising the price then claim they’re making things better but it’s not



it’s the municipal government using taxpayer money to pay for police time to enforce an arbitrary rate hike by a state-licensed monopoly basically immune from voter/consumer input set up to run a transportation system built by taxpayer money.

  2. Don't forget to factor in the millions that the city will have to pay out in settlement when someone inevitably gets mistreated in Police custody (ala Eric Garner).

  4. That's just one station. I don't know how many there are but when we go to visit my sister in-law in Brooklyn there's a lot of stops from there on the way to Manhattan. Compound that!
