We Rode NYC Transit With Trump Voters
Zohran Mamdani is campaigning on making NYC buses fast and free.
New York has more bus riders than anywhere else in the country, but the slowest buses.
We went out with @accordingtothekid to ask commuters, including Cuomo, Sliwa, and Trump voters what they think of free transit.

Everybody – and none of them have the intelligence to demand "no representation without taxation."

Wth should people who don't use the bus have to pay for the bus though? If those people can afford 700 MILLION dollars, why don't they simply buy a car? Or move somewhere that isn't such a crappy place to live?

I couldn’t imagine life in the city through the last 6-7 years. It’s never felt more like a trap than it does right now.

Why is "the rich will leave" a bad thing? When was the last time the wealthiest new yorkers paid to construct a school or a hospital? How about public transport? This guy is riding a ferry paid for by taxes and is wondering where the money is gonna come from.

Anything that helps regular people is unaffordable, idealogical fantasy but if it helps corporations and rich people, it’s a necessary sacrifice for future economic prosperity….their prosperity, not yours.

This touches on the famous quote by Thatcher: "The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money." Unfortunately, there is no one-fits-all solution to fix income inequality. Without companies and corporations, there are no jobs. And without jobs, people don't contribute taxes. Without taxes, municipalities go downhill. And without incentive, you kill the human spirit of ingenuity and competition, and people stop creating companies. There are plenty of textbook real-life case studies of these systems failing all over the world. I don't understand why it's still seen as a solution.

Miami Beach has pay and free bus lines. I’ve gotten on a free bus. Why not?

You know something that's exactly what I've been wondering too. Why is Trump's approval rating so low when he's done everything that the people that voted for him wanted?
Crazy
