The MTA has 1 Billion of its own sitting there they will waste on these holiday discounts. Why allow the state to take a 2 billion loan out and give half that to the MTA, when the MTA just wated there money

You think maybe the MTA did this to make sure that they were not in the black and that they would not have to deal with labor unions demanding higher wages and benefits?

The MTA is bad, but sometimes having money on the table is not a good thing....especially in government/public service.
