I. Public Comments There were six public speakers. Mr. Omar Vera discussed several items including OMNY and the end of MetroCard, his hopes that OMNY machines will be able to be used for 7 and 30-day unlimited rides, and that in his opinion the fares are too high and should be returned to a $2.00 fare, without biennial increases. Mr. Charlton D’souza, representing Passengers United, discussed several items including asking whether a passenger using OMNY, who needs to leave the system due to a system disruption, will receive a credit (similar to GO Transit in Canada), his opinion that there should be a pilot for OMNY in southeast Queens (where the Atlantic Ticket is being piloted), ________________________________________________________________________________ Master Page # 6 of 181 - Finance Committee Meeting 2/24/2020 his opinion that CityTicket (weekend travel via LIRR or Metro-North) should be expanded for week nights as well, while Freedom Ticket is being considered, and issues such as fare evasion, broken vending machines, and scammers need to be addressed at Jamaica Center and Sutphin Boulevard stations. Mr. Murray Bodin opined regarding several items, including safety items that he believes may be costly and outdated, such as blowing train horns at railroad stations, flashing red lights at railroad crossings (such as on the Willis Avenue Bridge and in Danbury), the red box at Metro-North’s Roaring Brook crossing, Metro-North’s purchasing of married pair railcars (he indicated they should have trailer cars between the cars at a minimum), as well as commenting that pedestrians should wear reflective arm bands for safety, and his disagreement with the sign and policy regarding public speaking time allotments. Mr. Jason Anthony Pineiro discussed several items, including his concerns regarding the action item about terminating retail subleases in the food corridor to accommodate capital improvements at Penn Station and the impact on customers’ ability to get something to eat there, his belief that fares should be returned to $2.00 per ride and there should not be biennial increases, and that the City should contribute earlier in the budget/plan cycle. Mr. Matt Kamper discussed his concerns over the changes to the food corridor at Penn Station and its impact on customers, and asked MTA to consider approaching the work at Penn Station similar to work on station projects, without closing the entire food corridor area.
