Some thinking going on...

The MTA announced the other day they had $833 million surplus, a bit more than they thought. The mayor mentioned that they should cancel the next fare increase. The MTA is thinking of building the platform over the LIRR tracks on the west side by itself, which could bring in lots of money from development. They could also move their headquarters over there and make some $ selling the old building on Madison Avenue.

The MTA budget report, out the same day, mentions laying off more conductors, which they are definitely taking heat for. Could the new amount of money mean a change in plans? So much to think about.
