MTA demanding the New York City Marathon pay it $750,000 to use Verrazzano bridge

LetsRun.com · 2024-04-03T16:28:02-04:00

It looks like they won't have to pay if they agree to use only the top or bottom of the bridge (and not both like they have since 1988)[quote]NY Times wrote:The M.T.A. has quietly demanded roughly $750,000 a year from the organization that runs the marathon, to make up for the toll revenue that the authority loses when it closes the Verrazzano — North America’s longest suspension bridge — to vehicular traffic, according to interviews and memos reviewed by The New York Times. The organization, the New York Road Runners, has yet to acquiesce, prompting the M.T.A. to play hardball. The authority initially threatened to restrict runners to the bridge’s shadowy lower deck during the 26.2-mile race in November. But in recent weeks, the M.T.A. slightly relented and said the race could use the upper level if the Road Runners preferred it to the lower level. Still, the authority said there was no way it would allow both decks to be used without a payment agreement in hand. The marathon has used both decks since 1988.[/quote] https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/03/nyregion/marathon-tolls-mta.html

Has the MTA looked into how much of that is offset by the gazillion people packing into the the subways to get around and spectate their friends and families running that day?
Seriously the subways are insane on marathon day. I'm sure there must be increased revenue for that.
New York is always full.

Why don't they identify as migrants?
Since being a migrant is such an easy life, let us know how that goes for you.
