Gas taxes pay for roads. NY wants indoctrination viewers to pay for subways.
I’m all for it- i use neither!!
These clowns are insane. What is the correlation between watching TV and riding the filthy subway?
New York State is, in a word, evil.
Why aren’t they charging the MTA riders for the cost of their rides?
Charging Uber passengers doesn’t make any sense.
And Netflix? Is that because MTA riders are streaming videos during their commutes?
One of those “Is this the Bee?” headlines...
Hey New Yorkers. Keep on electing those Democrats and you might soon realize they suck at governing.
“… it needs an influx of $1 billion to keep subways, buses and commuter trains running, without resorting to a planned 5.5% fare hike that would boost the price of a single ride from the current $2.75 to $3….”
******************************************************************
Why should MTA riders lay for their own costs when they can instead USE OTHER PEOPLE’S MONEY? /sarc
Hey I have an idea. Why not crack down on people who don’t pay? Oh wait... that disproportionally impacts “people of color”?? Gosh, well we can’t do that.
Just 4%? Get it up to tip level of 20% or more. :)
New York is a million or two residents smaller than Florida, spends TWICE as much, and the infrastructure is still falling apart.
Makes more sense than Uber or Netflix.
Did the nation vote for BiteMe?
If we were voting for this ****, Deep State wouldn’t have to steal elections.
They are trying to get all those who have an apartment. But whats really going to happen is that streamers are going to use out of state addresses. Then they are going to figure out where the IP is. And so they are going to start to use firewalls to hide IPs. And of course there are those who will simply move out of state. Most people have more than one streaming service. So those people may just limit the number of streaming services. And I wonder what they will do with Prime? They have free streaming with no delivery fee. Are they going to try and figure out how much is the streaming portion?
Chicago has a entertainment tax. They charge that on cable. So now nobody gets cable anymore. They just get internet.
New York City voters voted for Democrats. The majority of the rest of the counties in the State are RED. I live in the middle of the State. Why should I have to pay more for Netflix to fund a rail service I will never use in my life?
LOL pile it on ‘em! You get what you submit to and accept.
$0.25? That's a bargain compared to how much the rise in prices of practically everything has been with Bidenomics.
How about we tax stupid tax proposals instead?
Who WOULDN’T want to ride a violent portable toilet around town?
Wow. Didn’t President Reagan say about libs that one of their beliefs is ‘if it moves, tax it’. NY needs to keep coming up with new revenue sources to make up for all the productive people leaving.
