the MTA - on bus and subway fares alone - takes in about $14,000,000 a day - 5 days a week (weekends are a bit slower) - with the fare hike they'll be taking in another $5,000,000 - a day - this does not include the tolls, the LIRR, the DMV surcharges etc etc - $20,000,000 + a day and they can't keep the choo-choo trains clean and on time.
wow

we know all about the terrible situation of the nyc economy and business
situation
no one likes belt tightening but if anyone can manage through it it is him
Rudy presided over the greatest growth the city has ever seen. The last
time the city was faced with this environment we were on the brink of collapse with the sate and feds threatening to come in and take over the city!
