As if you needed another reason to fire up your scoot this Spring. From Gothamist:

The MTA board is about to vote on a series of severe fare hikes and service cuts for subway, bus and rail commuters, as the State Legislature hasn’t agreed on a plan to help out the MTA. Mayor Bloomberg said, “I would suggest, when you see what’s going to happen to your commuting costs, you should call your state legislators and say, ‘I’m mad as hell, and I’m not going to take it anymore.’” (Here’s how you find your State Senator and Assembly member.) Update: The MTA voted to approve the fare hikes. MTA executive director Elliot Sander said, “This is an extremely difficult day for everyone. Believe me, neither the board nor the senior staff of the MTA would be advancing these measures if we had any other choice.”
