MTA to Disabled: Drop Dead

New York's Metropolitan Transit Authority's 2009 budget calls for fare increases:
 
 
" ... Increase fare for NYCT paratransit service (Access-a-Ride) to as much as $6 per trip ... "
 
(Fare increases for able-bodied passengers on Subways and Buses are only going from $2. to $2.50.)
 
As a disabled person who continues to work full-time, I don't know how I could afford to continue to work if I am hit with a fare increase that goes from four dollars a day to 12 dollars a day.
