New Yorkers depend on our subways, buses, and commuter rail lines to get to work, to shop, to meet friends and to visit friends and family. This amazing system costs money since it runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and it is more than 100 years old.
Everyone benefits from mass transit — even those who never use it, since the essential workers who staff our hospitals and keep groceries on supermarket shelves, rely on the subway everyday along with more than 250,000 students who take the train to public, independent and religious schools.
Today, we have an opportunity to generate more than $2.7 billion to support the MTA simply by building a casino on the western portion of Hudson Yards on Manhattan’s Far West Side.
