City Comptroller John C. Liu stated the following today about the latest MTA fare hikes:
“The
MTA fare hikes are unfortunate because they fall disproportionately on
low-income New Yorkers, and they hurt even worse because so many
are still reeling from the economic effects of the recent recession and
Superstorm Sandy. New Yorkers already pay a disproportionately high
price for mass transit. The MTA needs to look for more support from the
City, state, and federal governments and not
try to balance its books on the backs of straphangers.”
