The MTA may be ready to raise MetroCard prices again and/or cut service (yet again!). Yesterday Bloomberg said Albany has "to come up with some ways to fund the MTA, or the MTA is either going to have to raise rates dramatically or cut back service dramatically—or, what's more likely, some combination of the two." Students have already begun protesting the end of free student MetroCards. Maybe the MTA will have to scrap some of those big construction projects such as the Second Avenue Subway (which Bloomberg doesn't like) and the Seventh Avenue Subway Extension (which Bloomberg is in favor of since it will assist in his development of the West Side of Manhattan). In the meantime, photographer Andrew Schwartz was invited to photograph what's going on under the ground for that Seventh Avenue line.
