Congestion pricing is a standard practice that transit agencies all over the world implement. That's not the issue. It's the MTA constant laziness and penny-pinching. They have so many that must be done, but stubbornly drag their feet on them because they don't to bother spending the money to complete them, resulting in the projects getting even more expensive due to their laziness, which just makes the MTA even more lazy to finish those projects. The MTA runs the subway the same way Jon Fisher runs the A's.
This has nothing to do with congestion pricing. The congestion pricing plain and the 2025-2029 capital plain (65 billion dollars) are two different plains in which the congestion pricing plain will still be in effect even though the capital plain was rejected by the state.
@ArnelleX-us9yo County just told you, 10 people getting paid to stand around and watch 1 person. 10 overpaid salaries doing nothing, and that's just 1 location. Mta has little to no oversight, they don't even open their books to show where the money goes.
@@BlankZero77 MTA employees are not responsible or involved with Capital Construction Projects...MTA hires outside vendors through a bidding process for Capital Construction Projects such as overhaul of Stations and Infrastructure...Your barking up the wrong tree....
@ArnelleX-us9yo wtf are you babbling on about. you don't read well I see. It has nothing to do with infrastructure, but everything to do with them asking for 63 billion. The op and I are talking about the waste of MONEY. due to overpaid workers, that stand around and do nothing, while also getting $20,000+ in overtime, to again do nothing...
Imagine having a monopoly on a service.. and still achieving bankruptcy! The issue with the MTA is inefficiency! Too much fat at the top getting paid big dollars, and too many redundant workers. Either consolidate workers or make more routes have larger buses rather than the smaller ones. You don’t need more workers/pensions. You need to work smarter!!!
All these homeless people living on the train, taking drugs out in the open, crime on the platform every day. And they have the nerve to ask for more money??
Kathy should be in prison if she ever in any form receives any gift or job or money in any form from MTA. Her family or her business should not receive anything from mta after she leaves office. FBI needs to investigate her finances with MTA or their board members. If she a back scratching deal with MTA.
permanently end no bid contracts and union staffing rules for MTA construction and repair projects. then we can do for 20 billion what the plan expected to do with 65 billion (before inevitable "cost overruns" of course)
@ they don’t deserve a single penny for funding, have you seen the conditions of the trains. They don’t even clean the seats or anything. Homeless people sleeping on the cart, people smoking k2, crack, and etc
Why should New York City pay for the rest of the State? The city pays 60% of the State Tax but only receives 40% of State Tax to fund the city... I guess it's only a handout when you're not benefiting.
The numbers are there, do the math. To explain, transit is frequented by low to moderate income folks. $3 per trip is a lot of money for them. State taxes (and car ownership) are mostly paid by moderate to high income folks.
They have been selling fare evasion as the problem yet have BILLIONS of dollars in the budget yearly, and its still terrible. I'm glad Albany actually didn't just sign off for a change.
not gonna happen. That would force minimum wage works, the elderly and disabled to pay $9 a trip. You can't maintain tracks and stations, keep the lights on, the trains moving and pay bus drivers on $3 or even $5 a trip.
How much money is wasted on DEI initiatives? They need to dump congestion pricing why make people who are not using MTA services pay for MTA services. Who determines low income drivers?
The MTA loses around $700 million to fare evasion every year. Figure out that problem and you'll have more budget to work with. Crazy how many people I see jumping the stalls every day.
@ well its a start.especially when they miss manage the money they get.cut their bonuses and make them earn it instead of raising the fare or charging people to drive in the city where it always been free
It’s called negotiating. I see these guys standing around every time I’m in the train. Then I remember “oh my train is on the track that they’re working on, that’s why they aren’t doing anything.” A lot of ignorant people here.

Wasn’t part of the Reason for the congestion pricing was for Increasing Transit use? This isn’t for we the people To help our city This is about making profit. I personally Think If almost everyone is forced to use Trains to get around the city it should be safe comfortable & affordable.
😂wait wasnt there a claim the congestion pricing was going towards this? So where is all the MTA funding going or fares from riders? Dumpster fire of greed & corruption
It's beyond frustrating to see other countries public transportation surpass that of a country that considers itself the greatest in the world. Yet one of the hotspots of this country's public transportation is in disarray and unsafe. New Yorkers need to vote out everyone who voted no It's clear there is a mismanagement of funds.
Nope shouldn’t happen unless the board takes massive pay cuts the middle class should not continue the burden of a mismanagement public transportation system
MTA will spend money to upgrade a system for those who don't pay from the suckers who drive into NYC. Those who live there walk because MTA is not safe anymore. 😊

they already passed that into law
Congestion Pricing was approved by the Feds and signed into State Law.

Congestion price is fine, it would actually pay for necessary upgrades like to make more subway stations wheelchair accessible.
Gridlock days? There aren’t supposed to be any gridlocks. According to the MTA congestion pricing will fix congestion. Bunch of idiots
Nobody said there will be zero gridlocks. The fee is supposed to be for days like the UN general assembly or
In case you haven’t figured it out everything the MTA says is a lie
So you don't need the congestion pricing anymore since the money would not be going there anymore.
This has nothing to do with congestion pricing.

They’re keeping the money for themselves. They couldn’t care less about any passengers or their safety! 😡 😡
The MTA always cries poverty.
I’d rather prefer to pay 10c on a gallon of gas in NY than pay for congestion pricing toll.
Congestion Pricing is still the law
This was probably caused by Mta corruption, especially as this board in this state would have crushed congestion pricing
The plan isn't exciting enough. Politicians want to be seen at ribbon cutting ceremonies, not spend $66 on repair work.
Mta needs to be audited. They throw money away constantly.
Thank god, the fares already increased less than a year ago, I didn’t want to see $3.00 fares until another 2 decades
It will be I know for a fact it will be up to in a few years slowly going up up 4.25 eventually it will go higher and higher
2027 going to $3.14. Just to give you a heads up. It’ll be in the $3:30 range come the new decade.
The agency is reckless and is out of touch with the citizens of New York.
They are squeezing New Yorkers 🏀 🏀 for everything they have
Declare bankruptcy. Creditors should sue the state and privatize the MTA with a fare lockbox that those monies go to capital projects
privatization tried and failed.
MTA wastes a lot of money.
What’s wrong with this country lol
Aside from the liberals, open borders, high taxes, crime everything else is pretty much fine
Fare evasion central
Yeah taxes will go up and your hiring system will continue to be terrible
Mta does not deserve not a single penny of funding, they wanna make upgrade make them use their own money, simple as that
80% of MTA’s revenue goes to its employees and their overtime
@ they don’t deserve a single penny for funding, have you seen the conditions of the trains. They don’t even clean the seats or anything. Homeless people sleeping on the cart, people smoking k2, crack, and etc
They should have the safest MTA in the country, or world to set the record for other MTAs
The Feds gave all our transit money to Raytheon. Good job Uniparty!
Does anyone look at the retirement benefits and sweet deals the MTA is given,it’s disgusting this must stop.
So they went on with congestion pricing but rejected plans for improvement….. 😅 where is our tax money going
Audit MTA and install cameras every god damn where.
Are you even from New York?
Audit the MTA!!!
Stop throwing money blindly to the mta its time to hold them accountable for their mismanagement of our tax dollars smfh
Why didn't they also reject the congestion pricing while they were at it.
because it's the law passed by the full assembly, state senate and cuomo. Not just some sub committee
Everyone hates the MTA But people can’t pay and decide to avoid the fare so how are they gonna repair it? Y’all fr need to stop hating.
Why should the rest of the state foot the bill for something we will never use.
It's the Democrat way. Steal people's money, waste it. Then repeat.
Most of the state is using public transit because most of the state is the nyc metro area

How about force mta to balance their budget?

There's a simple way: Mta tax. Replace the fares with a tax.

Good! Thank goodness they blocked the fare increase. 👍
Transparency, should be ensured in such mega revamping or upgradations, why put the burden on travellers via increasing fares!?
