I want a Zohran Mamdani for my city ;-;
its the same in the west coast. low income, older people get thier monthly fees half off(must show ID and income plus your pic is going to be on the bus card). but fees for in-city and ouer city transport as risen though for non low income people.
THIS IS RACISM AND SEGREGATION. TWO TIER FARES
and other attempts at framing it as bad
Underground Apartheid!

Be the Mamdani you want up see in the world!
Jokes aside, I’m with you my dude, I just want people who aren’t psychopaths running things, it shouldn’t be that hard and New York has proven that you can have not just a mediocre leader, but an actual good one…
“NY subway set to lose billions of tax dollars overthreehundredyears, Elon proposes new loop!”
He has such an electable face. I wish I could vote for him
He smiles with his whole face, it’s like the polar opposite of the ghouls who’s smile never touches their eyes.
I know that kind of thing can be faked, but Mamdani just seems so fucking happy that he actually gets to help people.
I fear for him.
I don’t even think the talking heads have to do much editorializing before printing this one, much like they didn’t do anything but post the word-for-word DSA platform in that viral photo of their anchor pointing at it incredulously.
Their target audience already see this is as a clearly bad decision in that it benefits many poor(er) people at the expense of some rich(er) people; that’s political suicide for the American Right in 2026.
Watch this cut fare jumpers better than any 12ft barrier
Socialism! Communism! ReeeEEEeeeEe!!! Wait, now the kids like socialism and communism? How did that happen???
Wow, what an asshole for helping other human beings. This fucking guy!
So, it looks like you can have unlimited travel around New York City for ~$75-150/month.
I’m not too sure if this reflects the change or not (hence the range). https://www.mta.info/fares-tolls/subway-bus
Honestly, that seems like a good deal to me. I don’t live any place w/ public transportation.
Why do people need to ride the subway? Why aren’t they driving like reel Americans?
Well it depends how it was done. Was it done by subsidising the ticket prices of low income earners with tax dollars? Or did the prices just halve because they chose to charge half as much? Where will the lost tax revenue be made up?
