Of course they would vote in favor of their own plan lol

Congestion pricing will be back...right after the election.

Modernize the stations. They looks like they are still in the 80s

And of course, it's gonna be the same dilapidated, dirty, mismanaged, always late system it has always been.
Could you imagine what other countries could do with a 65 BILLION dollar budget? Forget new trains and new stations, they'd probably invent teleportation; while New York MTA system would still look like it's from a post-apocalyptic movie.
I don't put the entire blame on the MTA though. The people in the city don't treat public facilities with any kind of respect.

They have .. ALL THIS MONEY 🤑💰...& They complain about people riding the Subway for Free

[rominous]

Alot of employees are about to lose their job because mta is about to get real greedy and we have more then enough new buses and trains we don't need anymore

[ProphecyOfficial]

New Yorks don’t have access to all of that 😂

[slapshot]

Fares will go up again! Guess who’s paying for this!

[IISourAyyII]

mta has been in disrepair for a century now

[BetterTextLex]

So the MTA wants taxpayers to give them $6.6 billion a year to make up for losing the $1 billion a year that was supposed to come from congestion pricing. Sounds legit.

[tattoomesam]

The only way to stop congestion pricing now is to vote for Trump. What a predicament!

Of course they will next year 3.00 for single fare coming

[C.P.C]

All this money and I’ll bet none of it will go to improvement I’ll bet

[darylb]

That’s only $8, 500 from each of the 8 million men women and children o NY. It seems like a deal to me!😂
