"Cuomo's proposal is the latest in a series of ideas from mayoral candidates about improving the city's transit system, a key concern for voters."
"Cuomo's new proposal would apply to roughly the same group of New Yorkers as Fair Fares."
Andrew Cuomo proposed making subways and buses free for the poorest New Yorkers, estimated to cost $140 million annually. This plan contrasts with Zohran Mamdani's more extensive proposal to make bus rides free for all. Cuomo criticized Mamdani's plan as a rich giveaway, posing himself as a reality-based alternative. His proposal complements New York City's Fair Fares program, targeting eligible low-income riders. The plan comes amidst various transit improvement proposals by mayoral candidates and reflects concerns regarding the city's transit system among voters.
