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.”

Solution: #freepublictransit

This is not okay. This student was trying to go home and physically harassed by police.

This is why we need to talk about free public transit. But even still, it won’t matter until we address the underlying issues of inequity that allow a young black girl to be treated this way. https://t.co/zXq7Kr7M3Z

Yesterday I became the first federal candidate to introduce a plan to make all public transportation 100% free, accessible, and green.

Congress candidate joins protest against bus service cuts, calls for #freepublictransit

Enough, @NYGovCuomo. Your disregard for our diverse communities shows exactly why my call to nationalize public transit and make it free and accessible for ALL is so urgent. Stop these cuts now. pic.twitter.com/O47LBDbZuj

I’m running to protect the 72% of residents who are home renters through the Homes Guarantee, to pass fare-free transit as part of a Green New Deal for Cities, and to fight for a four day work week for all working families in the New Economy of Care.

Fare-free Staten Island proposed

Borough President James Oddo is asking the MTA to consider launching a one-year pilot program, offering free rides on Staten Island’s SIM express bus system to reduce congestion by incentivizing mass transit use.
