MTA Board votes to end free perk program

After weeks of bad publicity and legal threats from New York’s Attorney General, the MTA Board voted this morning to end the free perk program. No longer will current and former board members enjoy free E-ZPasses and MetroCards for life. Instead, only current board members will receive the passes, and they are too be used for official MTA business only. Anyone want to bet that current board members are suddenly going to making many more trips for “official business only” now? [City Room]
