NYC MTA has a lot of nerve

In the last month the MTA has raised about all of it's rates. Right after the hikes went into place there has been a series of terrible service disruptions. Lines are going down all over the place. The 7 line used to be fairly dependable, but now can't be counted on at all. Service has had cuts all over the place. It's a mess and we're paying EXTRA for it. Why don't they just put a gun to our heads and outright rob us. They're nearly there as it is. >:-(
