Just a word of caution for those constantly calling for expansion of mass transit here in the Triad. Lawmakers have reached a deal to bail out the supposed standard for mass transit here in America:
After months of stalled negotiations among state leaders, Gov. David A. Paterson announced on Tuesday a long-awaited deal to rescue the Metropolitan Transportation Authority that will hold the increase in the base subway fare this year to 25 cents.
…..The plan calls for a payroll tax, a surcharge on taxi rides and increases in vehicle-registration and license fees and the auto-rental tax.
Just so you know.
