NY Times had an article today about how the ruling class travels to board meetings. (Hint: Many don't go by MTA trains)

One guy keeps his battleship SUV in a coned-off, no parking anytime section of GCT, Kalikow has a limo on call to bring him back to his offices five blocks away. It sat at GCT idling for several hours. The labor leaders were no better, with their limos or county cars.

One guy even has MTA pick him up at Penn Station and bring him to 347 Madison, adjacent to GCT. MTA says the cars are used only for this purpose.

They should take their limos away and sell them. Every one of them!!!.
They should use their passes to ride the trains. Furthermore, they should
surrender their seats when revenue passengers are forced to stand.
Come, join, see what the railroad is really like.
