"Jackson Park B train made an excellent point about it becoming a jobs program. If you want your little foothold to your dream of becoming a T/O then fine, just don't bitch when the fare goes up again."The fare going up does not reflect the true cost of the bloated workforce and poor operating procedures. It now cost $125 to apply for a learners permit to drive. This kills the working poor and the middle class who need cars to get to work and to live a normal life. Want to register a car GOOD LUCK they are socking your there also. I had to lend a friend who just got a job offer in NJ (once again due to high taxes in NYC business relocated to NJ) He needs to drive there and it will cost him $300 plus in fees to get a learners permit, a road test and drivers licence. Not to mention the high sales tax on the car he will need to buy. LET ME MAKE MYSELF PERFECTLY CLEAR. Many of the conductor and station agent positions eliminated by updating operating procedures will be offset by hiring new security/customer service who will 1) assist in emergencies 2) provide customer service 3) Enforce the fare and fine those who hold doors 4) monitor CCTV camera's similar to what is done in malls to provide 100% coverage to all station which will cut down on vandalism and fare evasion((which will reduce the number of cleaner and painter jobs saving money) The goal is a better operating transit system that is safer and cleaner and runs better for the riding public and tax payers. |
