The MTA board members who voted this week to raise fares are eligible for free rides when they need them – a perk that's not sitting well with Mayor Michael Bloomberg.It's really time for a full-on, third party audit of all the MTA's activities. Before fares get increased again, all waste should be eliminated and the entire organization streamlined.
Under the agreement, members can ride subways, buses, MetroNorth and Long Island Rail Road trains for free and drive on MTA bridges and tunnels without paying the tolls.
The mayor says no one should be exempt from paying their fair share.
