“I cannot set forth a plan right now that takes money out of a system that relies on the fares of the buses and the subways.”
New York Governor Kathy Hochul pushed back Saturday against socialist mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani’s plan to make Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) bus rides free.
“I cannot set forth a plan right now that takes money out of a system that relies on the fares of the buses and the subways. But can we find a path to make it more affordable for people who need help? Of course, we can,” Hochul said during a press conference.
