NYC City Councilman calls for #freepublictransit

This city politician wants to turn the turnstile into a relic of the past.
Councilman Mark Treyger is calling on the MTA to make subways and buses free year-round.
“There is a real opportunity to reimagine mass transit in New York,” Treyger (D-Brooklyn) said, citing the recent departure of subway chief Andy Byford. “New York can take a big bite out of poverty, mass incarceration, income inequality and our impact on climate change.”
