What's Your Opinion?

Question: The MTA has just submitted a budget of almost $10 billion for 2007 that includes everything from $19 million to replace windows scratched with graffiti to more frequent trains on the L line during rush hour. If you had your way, what do you think some of the money should be used for?

 | | "More security. Personally, Ifeel there should be more cameras in the subway cars. So if a crime takes place, they have an exact description of the crime. That would lessen the crime rate because the criminals would know they are being watched."

 | | "I'd probably go for more security, police, beefed up security - just so people could feel safer. Also, they need more bathrooms throughout the subway system - and keep them clean and available . They also need to make sure subway workers are more diplomatic. They can be very rude."
