    MTA to Disabled: Drop Dead

    New York's Metropolitan Transit Authority's 2009 budget calls for fare increases:
     
     
    " ... Increase fare for NYCT paratransit service (Access-a-Ride) to as much as $6 per trip ... "
     
    (Fare increases for able-bodied passengers on Subways and Buses are only going from $2. to $2.50.)
     
    As a disabled person who continues to work full-time, I don't know how I could afford to continue to work if I am hit with a fare increase that goes from four dollars a day to 12 dollars a day.
