1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,840
Speaker 1: This is a podcast from wo R Now more of

00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:08,000
Speaker 1: the wr Saturday Morning Show and Larry Minte.

3
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:12,480
Speaker 2: The NTA claims that new subway security gates are dramatically

4
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:17,080
Speaker 2: stopping fair evaders. Curtis Leewa, who spends a lot of

5
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:20,120
Speaker 2: time on the subways, disagrees.

6
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:23,960
Speaker 3: So the MTA, the money taking agency that just wants

7
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 3: more and more money, had their monthly hearing. And this

8
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 3: guy Leeber, somebody broke his arm. You know, he's got

9
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 3: his arm in like a slinger cast. I have no

10
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 3: idea who did that, but let's face it, this is

11
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:41,840
Speaker 3: a guy that everybody hates. Uh put there by Kathy Hokeel,

12
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,479
Speaker 3: who never rides the trains of buses, has no idea.

13
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,200
Speaker 3: You know, she she can see Canada out her window,

14
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:50,559
Speaker 3: you know, on Tarrity from up there in Erie County.

15
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 3: So he taking he's taking a victory lap, claiming that

16
00:00:56,280 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 3: this new technology, which is these glass opening lever doors,

17
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:05,320
Speaker 3: that we've spent incredible amounts of money to put in

18
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 3: this one billion dollar contract. They're installed in twenty stations.

19
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 3: Eventually it will be about one hundred and twenty. There's

20
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 3: four hundred and seventy two stations right and we're already

21
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 3: gonna spend a billion. Oh, it's stopped fair evasion. So

22
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 3: one of the board members says, oh, excuse me, chairman,

23
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,680
Speaker 3: have you seen the videos out there? What you gotta

24
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 3: do is google it YouTube. They're going over under. They've

25
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 3: already figured out every conceivable way to beat the technology.

26
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 3: And five people have already been injured, trapped by the doors,

27
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 3: one to five year old girl. And you know the

28
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 3: lawyers already there. This will poor lawyers already sending us

29
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 3: documentation that they have an intention to sue. So it's

30
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 3: going to cost us, the tax payers more money because

31
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 3: they didn't take the time to work the kinks out

32
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 3: of the technology. Nothing that they've done has worked. And

33
00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 3: then they spend millions on these guards, not even from

34
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 3: a New York company, Allied in Pennsylvania. He said, who

35
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 3: knows the people when Allied? This is work that could

36
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 3: be for companies in New York City, of which there

37
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 3: are many guard companies. Why is the contract only with Allied?

38
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 3: And then at the hearing yesterday, a different board member says,

39
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 3: why are we paying these guards? Look at these videos

40
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 3: where they're actually opening up the emergency gates and letting

41
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 3: people do fair evasion, and Lieber gets into an argument

42
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 3: with his own board. That's lies. What are you talking

43
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 3: about this? We lose a billion dollars alone in not

44
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 3: just fair evasion subways one point thirty. The people don't

45
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 3: pay half. The people don't pay on the buses. That's

46
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 3: why I laughed when Zoran says free bus farewell halfway

47
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 3: there and all the people who are not paying their

48
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 3: tolls on the bridges and tunnels a billion dollars. That's

49
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 3: what congestion pricing is for, to make up that loss.

50
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 1: It's always ima make up people.

51
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 2: Now you're talking to us, Now you're talking to me,

52
00:02:58,440 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 2: and you're talking to Natalie.

53
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: People are furious still about the congestion pricing, and the

54
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 1: fact that we're paying for freefares for everybody else is

55
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: what makes it worse. Have you seen on YouTube, by

56
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 1: the way, there is a guy that goes around and

57
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 1: shows you how to scam all the systems, how to

58
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 1: get in. And as soon as these new tolls were

59
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 1: put in, he showed how one guy goes in, stands

60
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 1: there and then everybody else can go in for free.

61
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: Everybody else can go in right after him. It's amazing,

62
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: and they don't do anything about it. That's the number

63
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 1: one thing that they should tackle, and they don't.

64
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 3: This has been a podcast from wor
