I believe the state would have to pay them directly for that to happen...and it could. |

But was the MTA proposing budget problems and service cuts just as bad as NICE is. Why replace NICE/Veolia with the MTA if the MTA would just be proposing the same thing?The more pressing question is why does it seem that riders are pressing for changes or at least now not for the fare to go up and the governemnt seems un willing to attempt to find a solution. I remember back in 2002 when Suffolk had to raise fares becuase of a budget problem. Riders complained and the fare went up but they recinded the fare increase quickly because they continued to look for a solution and worked with the state. The diffrences between this and that were that the County Executive and the governor were of the same party which probably helped in the state wanting to help, and Suffolk has always seems to have had a deficit when it comes to transit and still have been able to run the system without much problems. |

Nassau County funding their own bus system is a joke for decades. MTA has help Nassau to fund on Nassau County buses since 1973. They voted the guy who can't even fix the Nassau County finance problems in his term. |

NICE bus is bargain. A $112 thirty day Metro Card will take you from Babylon to Manhattan via the n72, n6, and the F train. Compare to $325 for an LIRR monthly ticket.OTOH it will take more than twice as long and your bum will be numb after 2 1/2 hours on a hard plastic seat. |
