It was set to start at the end of the month. We need to make sure our solutions work for everyone. Especially, especially those who are struggling to make ends meet. Hochl says funding was already set aside for the MTA's capital plan and they are exploring other sources. Julie Walker, New York. The Dow added 96 points yesterday. I'm Rita Foley, AP News.
