Give Me Back My 50 Cents
Two days ago a fire at the Chambers street station crippled the A & C and leaving the MTA to claim it will take 3 to 5 years to restore service, leaving riders wondering WTF.
MTA has revised their estimate to a few months for the the 600,000 person a day subway lines. Still, WTF.
When the system is restored, it still won't be completely computerized, instead, relying on the system in place since 1904. The MTA says the new computerized system would cost billions. So WTF have you done with the 50 cent increase in per ride passes? Why are you considering further increases in fares if you can't keep the system running?
Michael Bloomberg is up for re-election this year and he should take the blame.
1. The fire was started by a homeless man who would not have set a fire to begin with had Bloomberg been more supportive of homeless shelters.
2. The homeless man who set the fire was in an area of the chambers street subway station off limits to the public; all he wanted was to stay warm. Imagine instead a terrorist actually trying to cripple the subway system.
So we want our 50 cents returned for every trip we've taken since the fare hike.

I was actually on the A when this went down. You can imagine the excitement and delight 15 passengers felt upon hearing that there was a "smoke problem" at WTC.
