On Thursday, riders rallied for more frequent buses and trains ahead of this budget hearing, and what they want is going to cost a pretty penny.
"The budget is incomplete without $300 million dollars for fast service riders can depend on every day," said Caitlin Pearce, Deputy Director of Riders Alliance.
"My son has to travel from Canarsie to the Bronx for school, and it took him every day about two hours. It's wrong," Councilwoman Mercedes Narcisse said. This all comes ahead of the City Council Transportation Committee's preliminary budget hearing, as state budget negotiations heat up. "If we don't get what we want out of Albany - what we need - very quickly, we have to start moving on the ugly fronts we don't want to be active on, which is major fare hikes, major service cuts, and layoffs," he said.
