Mission Accomplished

Maybe you wondered why the MTA would actually bother with like six separate public hearings about fare hikes and service cuts — how different could each hearing be? But the genius part of it is that this way they’ve gotten at least six different “hits” in the media about how indispensible the M8 or the B75 is. Who would want to cut transit subsidies now? Screw the zoos . . . and the school band:

For the past nine years, Carroll Gardens senior citizen Vida Ebrahim has relied on the B75 bus to get her to church, the supermarket and the occasional trip to the movies.

This spring, the MTA may eliminate Ebrahim’s route along with five others in Brooklyn to cut costs, a move that would leave commuters scrambling.

“They’ll cut my life,” said Ebrahim, 78, who collected 100 signatures to keep the B75 running. “The train is completely out of my reach. I can’t go up and down the steps. I get out breath and my knees and hips hurt.

“I’m hoping that they don’t harden their heart and take away the bus, because I’d be lost without the bus.”

The MTA is holding a public hearing Wednesday night at the Marriott Hotel in downtown Brooklyn from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., where riders are expected to sound off to transit officials about the proposed cuts.
