Both actions were necessary. For better or worse, the fares can't stay at the same level forever. We can have a lot of debate as to how much of the cost should be covered by the fare, what programs we should have for the disadvantaged, etc. But in the end, there has to be a fare, and increasing it will always be unpopular. I don't like increases myself.So some political method of taking the unpopular action had to be developed. As for Moses, while I don't loathe everything (just a lot) of what he did, (and the way he did it- ex: no transit or pedestrians on the Verrazano) , did need have his power reduced. So ultimately, creating NYCTA and MTA were, to me necessary actions. Have they run the system properly, or as well as could have been done? Obviously no. But their existence is the least-bad alternative...IMO |
