Just for context, some of you who may say oh who cares, the MTA doesn't deserve more of our money they are so wasteful. You need to realize, if the money is not found, they will NOT fill the gap by economizing. They will cut service. Then, you may not be so happy waiting 20 minutes for your train instead of 10 and ask whether your complaining was worth it. We're really at a pivotal moment, yes ridership is down and some may say well adjust for ridership, that also means service cuts. Do we gimp service and make it even worse and lose even more riders? Or do we accept this is a public service, for the good of the city, and keep it funded and even try to improve it such as better weekend service to make more fare revenue? I do not disagree the MTA needs economizing, but the political and labor union reality is that service will be cut before anything else.

If adding ten minutes to the wait for a train saves a billion, I say save the billion. Isn’t that the reasonable choice?

Gonna have to disagree, maybe you live on a good line but for some of us on the N and R it's already bad and even worse on weekends, I ain't looking forward to potential 30+ minute headways for the N in Astoria on Saturday night lol. The overnight cuts in service could be brutal
