Beginning Sunday, five MTA bus lines will operate for free for the next six months.
Residents in every borough can now take rides on a couple of New York City MTA buses for free over the next six months.As of Sunday, passengers won't be charged fares on the following lines: Q4 in Queens, B60 in Brooklyn, M116 in Manhattan, S46/96 in Staten Island, and the Bx18A/B in the Bronx.
These buses will be clearly marked "Fare Free" with green and black destination signage, digital signs onboard buses, decals inside the bus and covers on farebox and OMNY readers. The pilot does not include free transfers to other buses or subway lines."This free bus is not just a socialist dream," said New York State Assemblymember Phara Souffrant-Forrest to Eyewitness News. "It's a reality to New York.
There's also the anxiety that comes with the word "free." As this program goes into effect, will it also lead to cost of living to go up again?
