   I have a full minivan with the kids already.  What does that have to do   
   with an MTA monopoly stanglehold on all transportation in NYC.   
      
   I have a better idea.  Just end the MTA and stop forcing people to pay   
   them.  Sell off the peices to private enterprise without and subsidize   
   and let its riders pay for it.  No more MTA taxes.  Return all that   
   money back to NYC to close its budget.   
      
   In fact, all trasit rides should have sales tax added.

   Are you like ... sane or have a real life?   
      
   Here is a hint .. trafic means busines.  If you don't like traffic, then   
   don't live in NYC.  There are plenty of places to go for people with no   
   children or elderly parents and who have no life.
