Proposed MTA Boycott...


C'mon, you saw this coming, didn't you? Some strap hanger would call for a knee-jerk boycott as soon as the MTA said it would increase fares. But who would have thought it would be a man in our borough?

Louis Kenny has the bona fides to complain. He practically lives on mass transit.
The South Jamaica man takes the D and E lines, as well as two buses, to make the 2-1/2-hour commute to his job as a cook at a halfway house in the South Bronx.

Some bloggers have taken up the charge.

Could it actually pan out? With ridership as high as it is, a full-on boycott has a snow-ball's chance in hell. But plummeting gas prices may also have the desired effect.

But how can you boycott the subways? I mean really? There's so much fun to be had there.

is the spelling on his flyer a play on words? Perhaps he meant to write un-fair hike.
