reblogging this again since op informed and this post didn't have the original source

anyways my original comment:

Sorry just wanted to say that there is a campaign that I've been helping with to make the MTA more afforadable!

we've started with buses so far (but only temporary and the pilot program just ended in September 2024) but yeah there's a whole campaign

sadly it won't be free, but it would freeze the fare for trains and make the buses free

Highlights from the article

"The pilot firstly dramatically increased ridership. Across all five fare-free bus lines, the MTA reported a 30 percent increase in ridership on weekdays and 38 percent on weekends, with 23 percent of riders reporting that they made the trip because it was free. It also provided clear economic relief to low-income riders. The highest uptick in new riders was from individuals earning less than $28,000." ... "Across the five routes we made free, assaults on bus operators dropped by 38.9 percent. This strongly mirrors what happened in Kansas City: After introducing fare-free buses, security incidents dropped 39 percent from 2019 to 2020."
