It just does not make sense to take away another $180 from me a year, as I am already tightening my belt due to the economic situation. Please consider reverting the fare hike for the ordinary citizens like me

So many people are struggling to survive and to charge these people an unreasonably high amount for getting to work and going to school is unfair and greedy. Who is this fare hike for? New Yorkers CAN'T AFFORD it.

What about subsidizing the MTA, as it affects the lives of so many millions of people? Why are the politicians in Albany allowed to get away with their secrecy and lack of transparency and not getting anything done? There's alot of money going to states to stimulate the economy but if you can't get to your job, you can't stimulate anything.

The MTA has been given a legal monopoly to provide a widely used necessary service, yet they can not run this no-competition business successfully. I forgot to mention they also own half the real estate in Manhattan, and are still asking for hand outs.
The NY State Government is as bad, they don't realize that is a Govt. or the people, by the people and for the people. Their goal should be to help PEOPLE. They should be helping the people.

once again our hard earned $ is used to pay their salary so they can look out for themselves. you can bet if they had to commute they would make something happen. we need to see where the government is mismanaging our money and get them the hell out.

As a student who frequently rides to and from school, I think this is ridiculous. Although I don't spend my own money for transportation to school, my family does use the MTA. Also, the money used to provide reduced and full fare MetroCards from schools to students will be taken from school budgets, which I believe is not fair.

The fare hike and elimination of the Bronx #34 bus route will make my getting to my place of employment difficult.

]]> Thu, 26 Mar 2009 02:47:24 UTC 5185014 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/5184976?utm_medium=rss I work at a non-for-profit in Flushing, Queens and live in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn. My commute takes me near 2 hours and involves 3 trains and 2 buses (B36 to B to F to 7 to Q44). By the time I need to get on to the Q44 bus my tansfer often expires. That means that at $2.50 per fare I'd spend $5-$10 a day to get to work and back. The monthly, at $103 would be 5% of my monthly salary. Where am I to find money for food, bills and rent under these conditions?

]]> Thu, 26 Mar 2009 02:42:03 UTC 5184976 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/5184967?utm_medium=rss If the goals of the city are to create a greener metropolis than anything that provides an excuse to drive personal cars is detrimental. As the numbers of un and under employed grow inexpensive transit will become the lifeline to getting around the city and finding new jobs.
