Name: Susan Carilli on Oct 11, 2007Comments: From downtown NY to Staten Island should not take an hour and a half, and many times, people are left to stand due to overcrowded buses, creating a potentially dangerous situation should the bus have to suddenly stop. A raise in Express bus fares is ludicrous.Flag

Name: Anonymous on Oct 11, 2007Comments: I totally agree that a fare increase is not justified. Most evenings coming home from work I have to stand from the city to Staten Island as the buses are over crowed!!!!!Flag

Name: Peter Santora on Oct 11, 2007Comments: I ride the X17 everyday and I, most of the time, have to let a bus or two go by as there are no seats available. I have stood, only when necessary to get to an appointment and at my age with a heart condition, that is very uncomfortable. More buses are needed at rush hours in both the mornings and evenings.. Please consider.Flag

Name: Yvonne Roga on Oct 11, 2007Comments: I cannot believe how much Staten Islanders have to pay to go to work. It is not worth the money considering the commute sometimes takes over two hours. How dare the MTA ask us for an increase. Why don't you increase the the subways to $5.25 See how well that goes over. I'm tired of Staten Islanders being treated like we are all wealthy. Obviously if we work, we need to. Our commute is horrible and not even worth the $5 we are paying now!Flag

Name: Michele Romeo on Oct 11, 2007Comments: I oppose this new hike. Express buses are not maintained and cleaned on a regular basis. They are over packed and they do not replace a bus/driver if the drive is out sick causing more overcrowding, plus now I am late for work. I have been on many buses that broken down in mid route. Most notable recently I had to transfer buses on the FDR drive durning rush hour. WHAT IS THE MTA GOING TO DO FOR MY SAFETY AND OTHERS WITH THIS PURPOSED HIKE! I still haven't seen any improvement from the last two hikes. (STATEN ISLAND, NY)Flag

Name: Sofiya Tsvayg on Oct 11, 2007Comments: MTA is acting irrresponsibly disgusting. I moved to SI 7 years ago, as of today the fare for express buu up to 70% . The quality and schedule of buses much worse, than 7 years ago. SI has at least 100000residents, who work in NYC. The only way to teach MTA lesson is to ask evevry islander to take at least once a week ferry, train or local bus. It will be weekly difference of $6.00 for each person, or $600000 weekly lost of income for MTA. I understand that once a week evevryone will have difficulties to get to work, but all together we can do. MTA should cut high bonuses for executive and follow NY mayor steps or at least ask his advise how to deal with financial problems in the company. He did it very well for our New York.Flag

Name: Jack Leung on Oct 11, 2007Comments: I wholeheartedly agree with our congressman. Why should we pay fare increases if level of service has been steadily decreasing over the past few years There needs to be a check & balance here and the mta has no right to raise fares at will.Flag

Name: Joseph Tuite Jr. on Oct 11, 2007Comments: The most obvious point of how inferior the service to/from Staten Island is that is takes on average 75-90 minutes each way to commute from Westerleigh to Mid-town Manhattan. Three hours a day to get to/from work is ridiculous yet Staten Islanders continue to get levied with more fare increases as the quality of life deteriorates due to over crowding, among other things. Our infrastructure was sufficient when there were 100k residents. It is now broken down and unable to handle the 500k residents. Changes need to be made - immediately!Flag

Name: Anonymous on Oct 11, 2007Comments: Staten Islanders already pay a high price for less than adequate service. Express bus riders pay $10 a day for a commute that in most cases takes longer than the commute of out of state residents. Local service does not come anywhere near to meeting the needs of the population - hence so many cars on the roads.Flag

Name: Anonymous on Oct 11, 2007Comments: I believe an increase at this time would be outrageous. We are already paying a high price for limited service....(no late buses or weekend buses on most express lines). We just had an increase to $5.00 which in itself was a hardship.Flag

Name: Thomas DeSoye on Oct 11, 2007Comments: This proposed fare hike is unwarranted and a slap in the face to SI residents. Until the MTA figures out a way to have buses run on time and less crowded (which will be never) than a fair fare is about $4.00.Flag

Along with higher MTA surcharges on our Keyspan bills. This is a runaway agency. and at some point, Government needs to control it.Flag
