'the most important fact is that we fund it, not the question of how we do it, but that we do it'
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/mamdan … free-buses
Throughout his campaign, New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani promised free bus rides for people in the Big Apple — but now that he's won the election, he faces the practical problem of securing the funding to realize such a policy, and it's unclear whether he'll ever be able to fulfill his pledge.
PIX11's Dan Mannarino pressed Mamdani about how he plans to secure the money for the proposal if New York Gov. Kathy Hochul is not in favor of raising taxes.
Mamdani opined that the "clearest ways" to obtain the money would be by increasing the state's corporate tax or through personal income tax on people who earn more than $1 million per year. But he added that "the most important fact is that we fund it, not the question of how we do it, but that we do it."

When the tax on millionaires ain't enough he will extend the city taxes down to everyone.

It’s just easier to say “free” than “included with your residency.”

The same people who pay for the fire department, water department, and transportation department.

He did say he wants a minimum 52% tax on new yorkers. I don't think that will be enough for all the free stuff he is going to give out.
