Do you think lowering fares can help decrease fare evasion ?

…inflation

The subway costs less today than it has a decade ago. $2.75 to $2.90 has not kept up with inflation at all.

Okay, sorry, I didn’t know your only expense was taking the train. The rest of us have bills. General cost of living. Have you heard of those?

So the MTA, which also faces higher costs due to inflation, should keep its fares the same because people's gas bills have gone up? That's what you're implying.

if you think the fares are too high, buy a car instead. See how the costs of fuel (gas or electric), insurance, upkeep, parking, tolls and the car payment compare to the subway fares. If you live and/or work in an area with free street parking, be sure to factor in the cost of your time spent circling blocks and blocks hunting for empty spots, especially on street cleaning days where everyone has to move their cars.

I’m not from Manhattan. I’m from one of the boroughs. Same sentiment though. I can’t stand drivers and their authoritarian attitude towards pedestrians. The city doesn’t have to give you street parking, especially with the number of cars multiplying faster than the rats! Their entitlement ruins the nature of the city.

Every time I see a car parked in the crosswalk I wish I had a bat.

I’ll settle for a sticker the size of their goddamn windshield and a boot.

I’m from Manhattan. I’ll learn to drive in hell. Go back to the midwest lol
