As if subway updates weren’t confusing enough!
Thirteen-year-old Francisco Hernandez Jr. rode the F, D and 1 trains for 11 days living on whatever he could scrape together to buy junk food with at subway newstands. Incredible.
Most people will only bother to read the lede of this story, but the most important part of this poorly written NY1 story is contained at the bottom:
“While fares will hold steady through next year, the reprieve doesn’t last long. As announced earlier this year, the MTA still plans to raise fares by about 7.5 percent on January 1, 2011.”
And on top of that, Gov. Paterson is proposing to cut state assistance to the MTA by $115 million each year. Yeah. Slick move, considering 43% of your constituency lives in New York City.
