Dennis said that crippling MTA issues, like fare evasion and homelessness, are “crimes of poverty.” She doesn’t advocate that people steal fares at all, but that people pay what they can afford within their means which the fair fares program can help do.

They also touted their Fair Fares program as a discounted solution for low-income commuters, but didn’t mention an expansion.
Nicholas Reyes, male state committee member for Assembly District 68, was definitely not in favor. He adamantly said that it was “disgusting” to offload a faulty system’s costs on the backs of everyday riders in the city.
