- jerlam 2y agoAssuming this covers all of NYC's population (8.2 million), that's pretty cheap - $1.22/week. I'm paying $160/quarter, so that's $13.33/week or over ten times the cost to a private company. I assume that my prices are regulated locally in some kind of private/public partnership deal.
