City Bills MTA For Nearly $12 Million In Services
The city charged the Metropolitan Transportation Authority nearly $12 million last year for municipal services, the Daily News reported this morning.
The Department of Citywide Administrative Services confirmed that the charges include about $4.5 million in civil service work.
The News reported that the MTA also owed $3.5 million for police to help nab fare-beaters.
This news comes days after the MTA voted to charge city agencies to cross bridges and tunnels.
Gene Russianoff of the Straphangers Campaign told the paper the city is setting a double standard by asking for free rides, while billing the MTA for basic services.
