Can’t wait for the service cuts and increase in fare.

Bring back the 80s, when the MTA slashed their maintenance budget, and trains starts failing. It’s not the cuts in service you need to worry about. It’s the service disruptions. Train stalled on the track during rush hour, good luck getting home in the next hour.

Yup, just going to continue to push more people to use cars. The current level of service probably isn’t sustainable with the 60-70% ridership that’s been going on since the pandemic.

And yet if you look at the megathread about the new LIRR timetable everyone is saying the trains are packed (except the Grand Central ones) and they don't have enough cars.

The LIRR is not representative of the NYC subway system.

It’s okay they’ll just enact congestion tolls to compensate

Only poor folks will be stuck using MTA.
