Show Notes
New York Citys fare-free bus initiative faces challenges as MTA chief Janno Lieber expresses concerns about affordability and cost. The pilot program ended in September 2024, and Lieber questions the estimated one billion dollar annual cost. He prefers the existing Fair Fares program, which supports the MTAs twenty-one billion dollar operating budget. Mayor Mamdanis team is pushing for a new pilot in the state budget, but Governor Hochul hasnt yet endorsed the idea.
