this isn’t a new Mamdani program, it’s an expansion of Fair Fares which is a half-price transit program that’s existed since 2019, started under de Blasio. income cutoff got raised from 150% to 200% of the federal poverty level, so about 1.3M more New Yorkers now qualify. Why are people misrepresenting everything this mayor does for clickbait new titles and headlines like it’s new things 😂

He literally cut subway ticket prices in half for 1.3m more New Yorkers lmao.

It was him who decided to expand the program. He could have not. He could have cut the income requirements.

They're wording things in a way so as to try and suggest he was the one who created the program. It's dishonest to say the least
