I was listening to 10:10 wins this morning and was shocked to hear that indeed they do plan to raise the Subway fares by fifty cents. Now this may not affect alot of people but unlike alot of people I rely on the MTA to get to and from work, places of interests, friends and family's homes etc...
I am one of many Americans who do not own a car because it is much easier to "hop" on the train and get to where you want without having to worry about parking, gas, insurance and traffic. I am also one of the billions of Americans here in the USA surffering because of the economic crisis our Nation is now faced with. We can barely make ends meet and found ourselves at witts end because we have to really penny pinch and really become fugal in our spending.
Now the MTA wants to raise fares YET AGAIN up to .50. Now that may not seem alot but if we calculate $2.50 going and coming that is $5.00 each day. How dare they think that they can do this to us when we are the one's that keep the MTA up and running each day. They went on a strike not to long ago. What will happen if we the riders decide to go on a strike as well for all the crap we have to go through while riding on a filthy, always late, overly crowded train?
Get it together MTA and maybe you will merit us paying that much to ride your mess!!!!!!!!
