Well, while I wholeheartedly agree with you, there are routinely like 2-6 cops hiding and waiting for someone to jump and not pay the $2.90.

I was just hearing from someone who saw 8 cops run after some kid who jumped the turnstile. All heil mayor Landleech and his blue overtime army.

$2.9/trip? What are you spending it on? Luxury golden cars with solid gold toilet that arrive every 30 seconds? It's less than 0.5$/trip here.

Not solid gold no, just crummy normal urinals dressed up in blue and full of prejudice, looking to do violence preferably with their gun, and coasting on that sweeeet overtime.

NYC is so fucked with conservative money and austerity politics, it makes me sad given how many progressive people live there.

Nope. Dirty outdated train cars that show up every 7-15 min. If you’re lucky. This is New York. It wouldn’t be NYC without rampant corruption in local politics. So every update to the MTA comes with an absurd price tag so some front of the mayor gets filthy rich.
