The hidden subway that New York refuses to build | NYC is one step closer to having a mayor that actually cares about transit and people. Maybe this isn't so far-fetched now.

    I dont think its polite to include the settlements of cases of police abuse. Or monetizing the dead.

      If you don’t include them then the cost is gonna be higher than $600 million. My point that it won’t pay for itself and has to suck up funds that could’ve been used for infrastructure remains.

          Also, what does this have to do with means testing?

            Thats what charging money for tax funded tra!sit amounts to. It’s usually an anti homeless measure.

              Regressive taxes are far, far more cost efficient than means testing. And like I said, the costs saved by eliminating fare are already factored in. They’re $33 million per year, and I added an extra $52 million on top of that for good measure.
