Riders Alliance member Latchmi Gopal: “We are happy that the MTA is redesigning all the routes, but in order for the MTA’s redesign to make a difference, we need to see Governor Cuomo commit the necessary funds to make this effort successful and reflective of the needs of the community. This kind of grand investment in our transit systems happens once every 50 years but it only works if the governor puts state money where his mouth is. Too often, the already marginalized members of this city aren’t treated fairly or given necessary public services. It is especially pertinent to invest in better transit for Black and Brown Communities.”
