See: MTA fare increases to $3 for commuters on buses and subway trains in New York City

"NEW YORK CITY (WABC) – Heads up commuters: getting around New York City will cost you a little bit more after MTA fare hikes took effect over the weekend.

The base cost to ride the subway or bus went up 10 cents to $3 on Sunday morning, as part of a larger increase in MTA tolls and fares."

I wonder how many NYC strap hangers [those riding NYC’s transportation] voted for Mamdani because of his promise of free stuff.

Maybe Mamdani will sell CDs of his popular hit with Ms. Rachel “Wheels on the Bus” to help pay for “free” transportation in NYC.

To be fair, things take time. The price of eggs and gas didn’t drop overnight but libs whined about Trump’s “promises” from day-one.

Let’s see where this goes a year from now. (And how he expects to pay for it.)

Three weeks. He doesn’t control the MTA. It’s a public private entity control by the state of New York

Bleeping question answered.

He is going to fail at making it free

The op was retarded

Yet New Yorkers knowing this still voted for this stronzo. :sob:

He is not in charge of the MTA nor was he mayor in September of last year.

I guess governance by edict is something that some appreciate

18

I didn’t say he was and didn’t say he was

I guess empty communist promises of free stuff is something that some believe. :man_shrugging:

Correct some believe exactly that

When he was promising it anybody with half a brain should have known he has no ability to do it

Because he is not in charge of the MTA

“Not a cULt”. :zany_face:
