It will not happen. The MTA always comes up with these plans that are extreme that they will have to implement unless they somehow get saved. they always do and the citizens end up paying in some way. The free passes are mostly given to young impoverished people who may not be able to attend school if that were not the case. The city will not cut them loose.The MTA instead should look for ways to cut the fat internally. The way that the system is structured allows for a lot of excess and wasted time.For example, train operators and conductors have a very lucrative overtime capability. The dispatches who do assignments have to be instructed to hand out assignments in the most efficient way possible. Then there has to be a review process to insure that this is being done. I
