Mayor Bloomberg has come up with a plan to make cross town buses free. This is very odd. If the MTA is in such trouble financially and has no money how can this be done? Suddenly there is money? Not everyone comes from the train as the Mayor suggests and that would cost the MTA more money.
The Mayor is talking about doing this in Manhattan. Why not the Bronx, Brooklyn and Queens? Are they invisible? People get off the train to finish their trips on the bus in the other boroughs.
This is a plan that will only help a few people in Manhattan if it does get approved which I find unlikely.
This plan is like offering someone snow in the winter.
If the Mayor wants to help people save money why doesn't he abolish the raise in the sales tax? The rise in sales tax affects far more people.
This is nothing more than a ploy to get the Mayor in the papers and on the news and make like he is such a good guy but this idea is disingenuous.
