the mta, budgets and fiscal responsibilty

The MTA, budgets and fiscal responsibility. (some of my spelling may be a bit off, gag on it.) Yo, so with the fare going up and people (ME) getting banged for an extra couple of bills a week for my unlimited, I started looked around for possible ways that the MTA could save money. Now some of these ideas may seem like common sense, but apparently they have yet to dawn on the cunts who are in charge of all the planning and budgeting and all of these other "little" things that are rather important when you are attempting to run a succesful business. 1: why in Gods name does the MTA feel the need to put a senseless number of ad’s for their own services all over the place. How much advertising revenue was lost by the MTA’s "if you see something say something" poster campain?? Has anyone ever been on the train before?? IF?? IF?? IF YOU SEE SOMETHING?? what does that exclude crackheads and homeless people sleeping on the ground. drunk motherfuckers pissing and smoking in the cars, and people who look like terrorists carrying around big suitcases on crowded rush hour trains… and, assuming that was something out the ordinary… who the fuck would you tell?? the conductor?? the 5’s?? I can’t imagine anyone needing a poster telling them to get help if they are in trouble, but who is going out of there way because shit is a little suspicious?? not me. not you. anyway, besides those posters there is a bizarre infatuation with keeping special event notifications up for weeks after the information conveyed within them is no longer relevant. i.e. informing me in mid-march that there were a bunch of christmas stores in grand central during december dont do me no good. they could use that space to SELL ads to other companies, instead of wasting space promoting past events. 2: no more buff. what do they buff like 50 trains a year now??how much $$$ is saved on the workers and the materials?? I’ll say 10 million. to clarify, since people don’t vandalize trains anymore, they save a lot of $$$$ by not having to spray down the outsides 3 times a day. 3: less token booth clerks. now I only deal with those shit fuck automated machines and unmanned turnstyles. shouldn’t that be saving money?? 4: all the fucking quality of life fines and shit like that. these motherfuckers have taken close to a G out of my pocket in the last 5 years, where did this money go. 5: the fucking fare already went up 50cents?? thats 33%. motherfuckers can’t even manage with 33% more revenue?? 6: when the fucking train station (or one specific exit area) is closed for the weekend. TURN THE FUCKING LIGHTS OUT. I don’t know many poor people who constantly turn all of their electronic equipment on and then bounce for 48 hours.. why??? BECAUSE THAT SHIT COSTS MONEY. there a world of other ways there deuche-fucks could save cake (maybe placing recycling bins in the stations and cashing in the bottle deposit, or just forcing those cunts to recycle because other large public areas are fined heavily if they don’t) but it won’t happen. oh and furthermore, fuck all you little hipster and hipsterette waste of lifes who don’t know how to act in the transit system. i swear i walk past these slack-jawed motherfuckers with their eyes gawking at everything, taking baby steps and making sure to take in the urban realness of their new life all the time, when I AM GOING SOMEWHERE. you should get a reward for throwing them down flights of stairs as they just stand there staring into space, dreaming of granola, indy-rock and the suburbs. AND FURTHERMORE, MORE… didn’t you cats just sell some land for $720 million dollars???? has that averted your budget crisis?? will my fare go back down or will your executives just catch nice bonuses as they allow service to decline??
