Transit advocates are pushing for more money allocated t the MTA, as well as free bus service. Marcus Solis reports from the Bronx.A group of local leaders is joining forces with some transit advocates to call for more funding for the MTA without raising fares for commuters.
The MTA is facing a $2.5 billion deficit and on Thursday the agency warned that that could mean raising the fare from $2.75 to $3. Among the package of measures they're proposing include freezing the fare at $2.75 and increasing the frequency of subway trains to every six minutes. Advocates say free bus service has been rolled out successfully in other cities and that the fare was waived briefly at the start of the pandemic.
