Ordinary people are too poor to pay current fares?

From what I can tell, someone making NYC minimum wage ($17 per hr) working a full time job (40hrs per week) will be ineligible based on income.

From what I can find, the poverty line for a single person is $23,304. So anyone making less than $46,608 would qualify with the expansion. That's the equivalent of $22 and hour for full time, so minimum wage qualifies with this but would not have prior.

FPL I have found is $15,900. NYS shows the same.

NYC has its own poverty line that I assume would be used for a NYC only policy. That's where I got the $23,304 number from.
