   My favorite thing with the MTA is the huge number of toys they buy for   
   their own entertainment.  They are fixing the switches on the Brighton   
   Line AGAIN, for what must be for the 7th or 8th time in a decade, all so   
   they can give us these cute huge advertisements with crackppot messages   
   on them, and have cool read outs and reports at 2 Broadway.   
      
   The only thing the Cogrestion pricing thing does is give the fat cats in   
   Manhattan subsidized roads at the expense of the working poor in the out   
   boroughs.  It is just robbing the ppor to feed the rich.
