Mayor Rhambo Raises CTA Fares, Tells Everyone If They Don’t Like It They Can Go Fuck Themselves
(Source) Mayor Rahm Emanuel had a message for CTA riders upset about upcoming fare hikes: they’re not really fare increases, public transit remains a bargain and commuters can “make that choice” about whether to drive or take buses and trains. “Fares stayed the same. Basic fares stayed the same, which you cannot say about gas prices,” said Emanuel in his first public comments since the CTA announced a 2013 budget proposal last week. While it’s true the standard payment for a single CTA trip will remain $2.25, the mayor’s transit agency plans a 16 percent increase to the cost of a 30-day pass and higher jumps for one-day, three-day and seven-day passes. About 55 percent of CTA commuters use some kind of pass.
The mayor suggested commuters who don’t like the new fare structure are free to get behind the wheel, setting aside the fact many Chicagoans who rely on the CTA to get to and from work don’t have cars. “Now you, as a commuter, will pick. You can either drive to work or you can take public transportation, and the standard fare will stay the same,” Emanuel said. “Public transportation is different from driving to work. You will make that choice,” Emanuel said when asked about the hike to the 30-day pass that in particular will hit working Chicagoans who in many cases can least afford it.
I fucking love this. I’m sick and tired of hearing about all these other Mayors. Oh Bloomberg is so funny with his Spanish. Menino is so dumb and falls down all the time. Philly doesn’t have a mayor because its a lawless pile of trash, blah blah blah. Rahm blows all of those suckers out of the water and he doesn’t get enough credit for it. Incompetence is overrated. Being a badass is in. You don’t like the new Fare Hikes? Fine, drive your car. You don’t have a car? Well stop being poor and get one.
Rham basically used the line I used to tell my mom when she said I drank too much at family gatherings. I’d just tell her at least I’m not a heroin addict, put shit into perspective. Same thing here, Its not a fare increase because its still cheaper than having a car idiots. Its not a problem unless you make it one, Rhambo gets it.
PS
You know the old school phrase “Kiss the Ring”. If I were Rahm I would make a shirt that says “Kiss the Nub” and never take it off.
Philly is a lawless pile of trash. too many blacks whoops
He is one angry Jew that’s for sure. Such a hardo, love it
Chicago dopes vote for a Democrat mayor and then are shocked when rates and taxes go up. That’s like walking into a gay bathhouse and being surprised when your rectum is suddenly full of jizz.
Hey Carl, Chicago’s had a democratic mayor for the last like 60 out of 65 years you fuckhead.
@englewood, that doesn’t make what Carl said untrue. they are free to elect someone other than democrats but they are like Carl said, dopes, who don’t really understand politics. I mean from over here looks like dems have been doing a bang-up job… got teachers on strike, #1 murder rate, and whole gangs of nigglets rolling around assaulting and robbing people in the downtown area.
englewood:
No shit, fucknuts. That just goes to show that Chicago residents are either retards or handout-junkies and fully explains the rampant corruption, sky-high taxes, and nutty murder rate there.
I’m saying that we’ve had a democratic mayor for how long and now that Rahm raised rates you act like they’re personally fucking us with them. Rates are raising everywhere and if you look at the CTA, it’s losing money every year anyway so it’s not surprising they finally hiked them up. Teachers are on strike in conservative areas too and it’s not like NY, NJ or LA are any better with violence.
Englewood – voting for politicians who think government is the answer are not intelligent human beings. This is a clear example as to why. I’m from a blue state (MA) where they do the same damn thing. Nearly every program is insolvent, and they “borrow” money to pay for it by raising taxes. I’m not saying that conservatives don’t, in some cases, do the same thing – but the difference between us is that I don’t vote for those faggots when they act like rahm, mumbles, bloomberg, etc.
PS – please understand that I was referring to you as a moron in my last post.
A true disciple of Buck Ofama
democrats like this clown love to talk about defending the poor and then sodomize them by raising rates on basic services that they use every day.
actually new york’s murder rate is the lowest its been in 20 years while Chicago’s setting records in murders and Rahm’s off hiring Louis Farrakhan’s nation of Islam security to keep some semblance of order in the hood, cops aren’t dealing with those fucking savages.
