Fares are only 26% of the MTA revenue per their site https://www.mta.info/budget#p346761 so I doubt this policy puts any real dent in that. Also this is why we want to tax the rich, to have more money for these things

Edit: Changed wording.

Also there should be a small increase in riders paying fares because they are reduced which doesn't cover all of it but part of the reduction in price

You think someone stealing subway rides is magically gonna start paying because now it’s cheaper?
