- xen2xen1 3y agoHasn't the state also been directly taking money meant for mass transit in general for years?
- Spooky23 3y agoLol no. The State through various schemes has been propping up the MTA for years. The bridges and tunnels (rightly) subsidize the mass transit. The state also imposed an additional sales tax for people 100 miles away to raise more revenue. The MTA’s woes are death from a thousand cuts.
- Jolter 3y agoI’d love to hear more about that. US unions seem broken in such interesting ways. Are they generally seen as a cost driver, apart from working to raise salaries and pensions?
