The MTA need to stop attacking cars and pass on their fees on to their riders not cars. We already spend a lot maintaining our vehicles. The taxes in we pay from buying gas and purchasing vehicles provides money for maintaining road infrastructures. The MTA makes billions of dollars already through tolls throughout the city not only that but they also get public funding from taxes. I think it’s outrageous that they give huge salaries to these workers that aren’t very deserving in a crumbling infrastructure MTA workers should not be getting paid over 60k salaries but a lot of them abuse the clock and are even found sleeping on the job collecting money. Traffic wasn’t as bad before the designated bus lanes and bike lanes that barely get used which already reduces driving lanes by 40-50% throughout most of the city especially on big avenues. If anything the city has to get rid of 50% of TLC cars which makes up over 50% of the traffic in lower Manhattan. Or charge congestion pricing on only TLC cars.
They need to pass it on to cars because ultimately all that infrastructure has to be maintained. Subway riders are already paying for what they use. Drivers need to pay for what they use regardless of MTA issues. Subway riders are paying for what they use directly already. No drivers are paying to wearing down the infrastructure here in the CBD. They drive aggressively. They hound pedestrians living in the area like we are barely allowed any space on the street despite the fact there are more of us. Everyone thinks us pedestrians are supposed to finance everyone else's lifestyle in NJ and update. Wanna fix affordability? move here vote and fix it....but no... everyone else is just leeching off NYC from their suburb.
@@theurbanspokesman subway riders are not paying what they use millions of people hop the train everyday and the Mta loses on millions of dollars every day and now they are trying to make up for that discrepancy by trying to take it out on everyone else same thing with property taxes a lot of it is unpaid and it’s being passed down to us you are brainwashed if you think I need to fund a system I don’t need to use when I already have my own reliable and cheap transportation
