How is this clickbait?

Edit: the MTA is a monopoly. Theyre trying to shake down the govt for our tax dollars or else theyre going to cut jobs and services. They claim ridership is down since COVID and for some reason they think taxpayers should foot the bill.

Do you know what happens when you let people go and then need them back once ridership goes up?

You pay a shitload of overtime since plenty won't return. Great deal for us, pay out even more in overtime!

They actually haven’t stopped reporting on crime, it just isn’t allowed to be posted here out of the “megathread”

Less trains to push people in front of is a double win.
