Early Xmas Gift
The MTA has decided to use some of its $900 million surplus to give out fare discounts and bonuses during the holiday season. Maybe next year also. They are also going to pay off some pension obligations.
Update: Mobilizing The Region reports on one of the reasons for the fare rebate: "Part of the thinking behind the MTA’s proposal to offer a variety of significant fare discounts between Thanksgiving and the New Year is likely fear that political leaders will find ways to appropriate the build-up of transit operating funds for other purposes."
