"I think the collapse of the real estate market and real estate transfer tax revenue are more immediate causes of these two fees/taxes than inefficient bus routes. MTA efficiency or inefficiency on all levels as well as stable and adequate state and local transit funding are another matter entirely. "I disagree. It was the high level of subsidy that has allowed these inefficient service to continue for years at the cost of hundreds of millions of dollars per year (including subway, lirr, metro North, bridges and tunnels) . This has lead to a deficit that could have been predicted as the real estate and economy are cyclical. |
