    Yup, public transit fares are regressive taxes.

    A better city would have free public transit and pay for it by taxing the businesses that insist on nobody working remotely.

      Can you imagine? Every business taxed according to the total transit time of their workers.

      Either everyone lives in dense housing or everything becomes remote, it’d be amazing!

        lol the wealthiest people that work in New York don’t live in New York, they mostly live in Connecticut and other close states. I’m all for it. Tax the companies that need their execs to show up the most, based on their salary, and then watch the boomers that don’t like working remote get feisty about the tax, especially because they usually have equity in the company they work for
