I’ve said it before, but cutting it even further than it already was cut is grim. Getting around through the system was already miserable from delays and infrequent service in a lot of places, especially if you’re used to the convenience of NYC transit (which admittedly also has its own problems). It’s been a few years since I’ve been on it but I can’t imagine it’s gotten any better, and now this.
Is the ultimate plan to ruin it for private companies to buy up on the cheap, I wonder?
