Mamdani’s “free buses” scam isn’t policy—it’s economic malpractice. Kansas City’s collapse proves fare-free transit guts revenue without replacing it, and NYC’s MTA would hemorrhage $500M+ annually.

Cuomo built infrastructure—Third Track, Moynihan Hall—while Mamdani peddles unfunded slogans that’d cripple maintenance and service. His “tax the rich” fantasy? Pure activist cosplay.

NYC riders need reliability, not Mamdani’s ideological experiments that turn buses into overcrowded breakdown zones. Cuomo delivered results. Mamdani delivers decay—and New Yorkers foot the bill for his delusions.
