You are correct, but in NYC you have to pay the previaling wage.I have been for safety in the system vs. cost saving thru reduced staff, e.g. Conductor, Token Booth Clerk. Cutting these folks is a drop in the bucket compared the way the MTA is very good at spemding & wasting money. - How much is the rehab on the Brightion line costing, Fulton Street complex, etc. - East Side Access is going to cost over $8 Billion dollars - 2nd Ave Stubway is going to cost over $5.5 Billion dollars The politians are also afraid to raise the fare while at the same time they dip into the money earmarked for the MTA and spend it on other things. |
