- addicted 7y agoThe political issue is the NYC subway is used by NYCers, but the organization that runs the NYC subway (MTA) is run by the state government. And in state politics setting money aside for city transit is not popular, despite the city being the engine of the state economy. Further, NYC being nearly the only city in the entire US where a car free existence is possible, non NYC residents often can’t fathom why non car improvements are valuable.
