Raising Cash – One Ticket At a Time
New York City is needing more money. One way that the city is trying to increase its financial budget is through traffic tickets:
“…You may have begun to notice more traffic tickets being written. And you may have guessed — correctly — that it has to do with getting New York City more money. Well, brace yourselves, the city is putting 200 more ticket-writing traffic agents to work.”

New York City may have an abundance of tickets to write. However, in some communities, there is a dramatic increase in the use of public transit. People simply cannot afford to have the car on the road, even with fuel costs dropping. And, in this community, there is, of course, a planned increase in fares for public transit.
