I'd like to see more evidence that the MTA is capable of operating with any degree of financial efficiency, since its costs are astronomically higher than comparable global systems, but regardless, this isn't a particularly heinous increase. If they don't manage to get costs down from the stratosphere though, people are eventually going to lose (even more) faith in the agency to do anything.
