The Transit Workers Union, New York City Comptroller Brad Lander, and Public Advocate Jumaane Williams teamed up with other city officials and residents to file a lawsuit against the MTA.
They’re calling on a judge to stop the MTA from making additional bus service cuts after they say the MTA already cut 10% in the Bronx, Brooklyn and Manhattan.
The lawsuit claims these cuts came after the abrupt halt to the controversial congestion pricing plan. The MTA was expecting to get about $15 billion from this plan so they can fund various expansions and upgrades.
