re: #375 Dark_Falcon
The Port Authority just approved major fare and toll hikes in the NYC metro region. Governors Chris Christie (R-NJ) and Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) brokered a deal where they (and the Port Authority) get what they want, and the commuters get hit with the bill.
The Port Authority’s initial proposals would have been a backbreaker for all commuters and anyone using bridges between NJ and NY, including the GWB.
The brokered deal is seen as more reasonable, but it’s still a major hike and will likely increase costs for goods and services in the region even further.
