You should pay more because you aren't covering the actual costs.

Because trains cost money? Everything can't be free or cost less just because you wish it so. I'm a big proponent of no-fare subway's, but I don't think the MTA should just do that…

Middle class folks that work in the city don't drive from NJ into NY, and for the few that do, they should get on a train because it will save them money today and after this goes …
