The MTA is the worst of both worlds: it's half funded by taxes and half funded by fares, ensuring that the system is perpetually bankrupt and also at the mercy of legislators that don't live anywhere near NYC and hate the city in ways only upstate New Yorkers could.
On a completely unrelated note, the MTA is just about bankrupt, the subways barely run half the time, and there's never time to do any maintenance :dumpster-fire:

Some ghoul is probably saying that it's time to privatize the subways
More like time to fund them publicly in full
I was so mad when they started paying more for policing than they were recouping in fairs. It was literally just an exercise in punative paternalism
