The MTA board members are unpaid. The recent scandal where it was "revealed" by Cuomo that they were getting free metrocards and EZ-Passes was a scandal because it was compensation, which isn't allowed.

But yeah, MTA management could take a paycut... union workers won't though. It'd be politically impossible.
