MTA Fare Hike Hearing Today in The Bronx

Typical scene at 149th Street and Grand Concourse on the northbound 4 platform.

The dysfunctional organization known at the Metropolitan Transit Authority, aka the MTA, is seeking yet again to hike fares but worry not, you have a chance to tell them what you think about this ill-advised move.

With the cost of living in NYC ever increasing and yet wages, particularly for low-income New Yorkers, remaining stagnant, the MTA needs to figure out other ways to raise revenue instead of doing so on the backs of the working class which keeps this city running.

And what exactly are we getting with a fare increase?

Everyone is packed like sardines in the subway and service definitely hasn’t improved so again, why is this even an option?

Head over to Hostos Community College for today’s hearing starting at 5PM (registration to speak on the fare hike is from 4PM-8PM) and give them a piece of your mind as only Bronxites know how!

Hostos Community College is located on the Grand Concourse and 149th Street right outside the 2/4/5 train station.
