My question is when will the NYC and NYS income tax rates skyrocket?

Has anyone noticed the effect of the recently changed bus routes? The wait for a bus is interminable and yesterday I was on a bus where there was a near mini revolt because it was so crowded -- and this was not rush hour. We are going to see quite a few NYC lifestyle changes.

Why are you riding the bus? You do know the world's largest subway system is right under your feet?
