Reply to comment by czapatka in NY lawmakers say they won't support MTA's planned fare hike for commuters by King-of-New-York
A distance-based fair is a direct tax on the poor and a discount to the rich. Most New Yorkers work in Manhattan, only the wealthiest live near work.

That point isn’t lost on me. I was just asking if there was ever a discussion around it, since the MTA is clearly in need of revenue.
If we can’t raise fares or introduce another fare structure, clearly the MTA is in a stalemate with themselves.
