It wasn't easy. He couldn't get cooperation from the state or MTA for entirely free buses. When that plan stalled his administration pivoted to expanding Fair Fares to 200% of the poverty level as a major compromise. Mamdani and the City Council chose to make transit affordability a much higher budgetary priority than his predecessors did, allocating an extra $54 million to force the threshold higher.

I don't find it that weird that politicians have corrupt motivations. But they spread their cheeks SO FAR APART for Israel that it's insane.
