I hear you, 12% is reported in the books but who knows what the actual number REALLY is? There’s multiple instances of fraud within the MTA system.

Here’s something to entertain your brain

There’s more to everything. Always is when taxpayer money is involved.

Where did I tell them to break the law? How about some more economical pricing for daily commuters? An efficient route? Removal of unnecessary fees just because you were short of 50 cents? Where did I mention anything about driving into the city? When tolls exist within borough to borough. If you live in the east Bronx, you’re not driving through the city tolls to go to Long Island. You’re going through RFK or Whitestone. Not everything revolves around the city as a whole. Long Island city and Staten Island still exists if you’ve resided in nyc fair enough to know. You’re picking and choosing what you want to argue about.Introduce better/economical practices = less evasion. Everyone downvoting has no sense of logical arguments, just “YOU’RE SO WRONG”, no counterarguments, no sense of understanding a fairground.

Reading is fundamental and I strongly urge you to read the first sentence. Seriously, it’ll do you rounds of favor. ROUNDS. I included everyone that breathes and walk and identifies as a human being. No need to read in between some line that doesn’t exist.

I’m aware you ride a bike which is hella convenient for the environment but for people who don’t work in the city and need to drive out. Justify paying $12.55 (both way tolls) on top of gas everyday + maintenance to keep your job. Not everyone can be eco-friendly because not everyone got the same privilege as everyone else.

I’m in more of a sense for everybody, city officials or regular civilians. Where are the improvements in transportation and roads in general? Van wyck has been under construction since I was born, Bronx river has potholes bigger than someone of our anus’s, MTA trains are a piece of shit and gets worse as time goes by. Where are the improvements? I’ve been to other democrat cities and seen tax dollars at work. Take CA for an example, granted it’s huge in size and population but, seeing a “your tax dollars at work” at a construction site is calming for a regular citizen. Their work of improved roads sells itself. You can lick the government balls all you want, you’re livelihood is a paycheck to them. I can get downvoted all I want I could give 2 shits, if you truly lived in New York for your entire life, you’d know how slow improvements have been. This is coming from someone that’s in support of law enforcement and comes from a family of law enforcement just in case someone starts generalizing.

Don’t blame them, imagine having to pay $6.55 to cross a bridge to get into a borough in the SAME city (bx to qns). Toll Bridges were meant to be temporary but now, it’s permanent. Where does all this money go?
