C’mon Brannan, Everything Doesn’t Have to Be Free
Councilman Justin Brannan wants the trains to be free on the holidays. How would that matter to most people? Residents who are struggling to make ends meet already have free Metrocards through the Fair Fares Program. Story here
Brannan reasoned that drivers are happy when they don’t have to feed the meter on holidays.
On Sundays, metered parking is also suspended….does he want the train to be free on Sunday too?
Since Brannan is calling for a free train on Christmas Day, then there will need to be a free train on Hanukkah, Eid, Chinese New Year, etc. ! He has to know this, so this story is probably just a way to get in the newspaper this week.
If the MTA is broke and doesn’t have the money to make upgrades, why is NYC Council considering this? How about NYC Council stops giving out money to not-for-profits and uses that money to fix the train?
I wish Justin Brannan and NYC Council would help these people who need help – like make real change, instead of throwing breadcrumbs out to the city.
