MTA to announce more service cuts soon

By

Earlier this morning, I reported the alarming news that the MTA’s deficit is growing by nearly $200 million. While the first reports noted that the MTA would consider new cuts, updates from this morning indicated that the announcement of those cuts could come before the month is out. According to The Post, the MTA is set to unveil a second round of service cuts on April 29. If Albany doesn’t act decisively and soon, New York City will be left with a crippled transit infrastructure and little hope for its immediate future.

    It must feel like Christmas if you’re an upstate Republican–with visions of even more shiny new bridges and expressway lanes in their eyes.

    I never thought I’d hear myself say this, but we need a $3 Metro fare.
