i feel you...though in philly, we already pay 2 bucks per fare as is, and transfers are now a dollar - despite its flaws, MTA is far superior to SEPTA down here in many many many ways...but transit for disabled people has always gotten the shitty end of a shitty stick everywhere.
one of the big fights down here is doing away with the Gender Stickers they place on passes..whenever you buy a Septa pass you have to ask for Male or Female...there are many in the GLBT community that are raging hot over it..and i always thought it was a stupid thing to do...why not just put a PAID sticker on it and be done with it, the excuse SEPTA's always used is just lame (preventing fraud sales), if i wanted to let another female use my pass i could, or a male can sell me a female pass they found...but i digress...
i really hope that MTA realizes how bad they are screwing people and stop fucking with their lives
