And I fully agree, fair hikes shouldn't be going up and up, why doesn't MTA move up and on to electric vehicles (replace gas/diesel buses) such as trolley buses?

It would save a hell of allot more money and they wouldn't have to refuel anymore. Gas SHOULD be as a backup case the vehicle dewires and could only BE used until re-wireing is possible.

The Mta should use Trolley buses. I feel they should buy the trolley buses Edmontan has. The ones they have in storage, and the ones they have running. Run them on 3 routes here. Buy new trolley buses to run 3 additional routes. Philadelpia is opening trolley bus routes. TTC is considering restoring theirs.

I noticed the mic volume not being high enough, I had to deal with it when I used to use internet cafe's before getting an ISP and computer.

In flash player, right click and click settings, select the mic tab (mic logo) and drag the volume while speaking forward until the meter shows red, then you won't have to hold the mic right in front of your mouth to actually be heard.

Your right, I will do that. The video fell in the right place. I think I will get a lot of views here.

Hearing of rate hikes and service cuts always makes me wish we had public transportation as good as what they have in Hong Kong! Or ANYWHERE in S.E. Asia! I live in a town of only about 300,000, yet here, they decided to fix something that wasn't broken. They cut 20% of our bus service, and raised the fares anyway. It's been a nightmare for those effected so far. keep fighting the good fight!
