Subway Fare Holiday Press Conference

Today at 1pm, Andrew Yang will call on the MTA to grant a one week subway “fare holiday” beginning May 28th, the Friday of Memorial Day weekend. By investing a tiny fraction of the $10 billion the MTA is slated to soon receive from the federal government, the MTA can finally jumpstart lagging ridership (that is currently down 70%) and give more NYC families the extra money they need to spend on entertainment, restaurants, and other small businesses across the city during the unofficial start to summer.

A man who is gracious in defeat will also be gracious in winning. I am glad and thrilled that Andrew Yang is in the lead...

Meanwhile, they just cancelled my fare fares metro card bc I haven't used it bc I had no money. Unbelievable.

What I see is that NYC subway does travel far which is nice but it's dirty.

We must implement a permanent UBI now. Then we can transition to a RBE. Support The Money Free Party, The Zeitgeist Movement and The Venus Project so we can go beyond politics poverty and war. Or we will destroy ourselves !
