A pilot program launching in September will offer free rides on one MTA bus line in each borough for at least six months.
Anthony Carlo is on the ground reporting on the new pilot program launching in September that will offer free rides on one MTA bus line in each borough for at least sex months.Some New York City bus routes will soon no longer accept fares thanks to a new pilot program that will offer free rides on five routes.
"The MTA is the lifeblood of New York City, and I'm proud of the tremendous progress we've made in returning ridership to pre-pandemic levels," Governor Kathy Hochul said. "By establishing these fare free bus pilot routes, we are expanding access to public transportation across the city and improving transit equity to better serve all New Yorkers."
The MTA said it lost $600 million last year because of fare evasion -- and a bulk of it was on buses.
