Another day another story.. The MTA want more money.

The cost of living goes up in the USA and your salary stays the same. The MTA wants to raise the bus and train fares by 15%. Increasing the fare from $2:75 to $3.15.

“Inflation”

I remember when I started living in the US it cost 50 cents to get on the bus in New Jersey. A short drop in a taxi was $1.00. I moved to New York and the cost was 75 cents to get on the bus/train. A short drop in a taxi was $1.50 (Transportation in NY is more expensive than NJ) Today in NY it cost $2.50 to get on the bus and train. Short drop in a taxi $7.00/8.00… Oh drama! Inflation!
