How much cleaner, safer and faster would the actual public transit option be if everyone who was prepared to pay $13 each way for a 30-minute commute paid the same amount in taxes instead?
- danielvf 1y agoMy guess is that the people who are paying $13 each way for a 30-minute commute are paying orders of magnitudes more than that in taxes already. Also, given that this is not a huge number of people, relative to public transportation in NYC, it would probably not make much of a budget increase.
- einszwei 1y agoThe problem isn't people taking public transit or taxis, its the people who take private jets and yachts not paying their fair share of taxes.
