According to the NY Crimes, fare evasion cost the MTA $690 million in 2023. Meanwhile, congestion pricing was expected to bring in $1 billion annually. Yeah make that math work Hochul.

"I have said that before! It was completely wrong and asinine, then and now, but I think we all know by now how little that matters to me!"
Making public transit free would surely be cheaper than that no?
And how would we fund it? With the brave officers’ $150 million in overtime? Get real, tankie
