I'm wondering, is there a set area within the MTA that that revenue goes toward?

Because the base fare for a subway in New York City, it's expected to increase to $3 in January.

How does that work?

Because I heard of a friend who was on a bus and someone had come around and scanned their phone to see if they had paid the fare.

Is that how it works?

Explain to us.

What about mitigating climate issues that affect particularly the subway stations?

You go online, you see videos of flooding in stations.

Water in the subway station.

Do you guys have, at least as part of the upcoming capital plan, a plan in place to update the infrastructure?

Sure.

We have to ask about the second, second Avenue subway expansion as well.

Just walk us through some of the plans for, and the timeline here, because this has been something that's been in the work, something that any New Yorker who's lived in New York for the last four, how many years, 40 decades, 50 years.

Do you have a timeline or an expected timeline?

I imagine you get a lot of people who hear these numbers, congestion pricing is on track to raise $500 million.

They say, wow, that sounds like a lot of money.

Right.

Why are the subways still the way that they are?

Delays, crime, uncleanliness.

Help us just understand, I know that you said that a lot of those fares go towards paying workers, but a number like this, a number like 500 million, what does it mean in the context for the broader MTA organization?
