Paying $100 a week just to go to work is insane

[Ethnic Vagina Finder]

everything is a hustle to separate people from their money.

A monthly bus ticket to nyc from where i live is like 400-500 dollars, ten years ago. Who knows now. Bus is packed to the brim.

Knew a kid who came in from pennsylvania. 6 hr commute a day minimum.

Pure American greed to pay salaries to people who do nothing

First fare hike I remember was when the token increased from $1.00 to $1.10. That had to be somewhere between 1989 - 1992.

I feel sorry for people with garbage employers. This is why I said in a different thread last week that you need to be very strategic about the types of jobs you pursue.

At a certain point employers pay for that. I don't even use public transit because I'm car gang but your travel to work should be included as a benefit along with the 401k, the legal plan, the health insurance, etc. The government already makes transit tax deductible to employers in the same way tuition benefits below 5,250 are tax deductible.


I'm willing to go as far as saying that there are so many good employers in New York that people with bad employers like her suffer. Because all of our good jobs are paying for the cost of Transit, and then it becomes an inelastic expense. If barclays, JP morgan, Prudential, and Deloitte are paying for Transit and they don't give a damn how much they pay, then I totally see why the govt would just raise the price.


This is actually a big part of why the rich stay rich, and the poor have fewer chances out. For example, my employer actually pays for ramdom sht like my phone bill too. So I'm probably making more than the average person but I'm having to pay less of my money towards living expenses.

To park that car in NYC would cost you a couple hundred a month too lol. Plus the tolls, so maybe a few hundred more.

I wouldn't want to live in a place like that. I'd have to move.
