Okay so I wrote this letter to the straphangers campaign hoping to see some sort of action and I have not even heard anything back. I feel frustrated and wish I knew of other organizations that dealt with issues such as these or I wish I knew how to start one myself. Here is my letter and if anyone else would like to also email to the straphanger's campaign please feel free to do so at http://www.straphangers.org/cntact.php


I think it is time for your organization to aid in organizing a city wide riders strike in protest of this latest fare hike. We the riders have the ultimate power because it is our money that is needed to run the MTA and we should assert that power now. I believe this is the right time for such an act because people are under a great deal of economic pressure and would be more willing to stand up and and demand to be treated fairly. The MTA having 100 marketing executives on its payroll and the previous issue of the double books are both aspects that require greater media attention. The hearings that are held regarding the fare hikes have clearly been proven pointless. This is the right time for a real positive change and your organization is in position to ensure that it occurs. You can unite the people of NY into one powerful voice whose time has come to be heard.
