Governor Shapiro is working to get us some aid, but, the region, city tax payers are going to need to step up. The demented pig is not going to help. We are going to have about a 30% fare increase. Many of these systems are also plagued with a huge percentage of riders who illegally jump the turnstyles and such to avoid fares. I've long thought this needs to be cracked down on.
