The Straphangers Campaign members, holding plastic orange pumpkins, handed out fortune cookies to the MTA board on Wednesday in their yearly trick-or-treat gag.
With possible fare hikes and service cuts looming, the transit advocates tried to scare some reason into board members who will be voting on both prospects by the end of the year with clever fortunes inside the cookies.
A sampling of the fortunes:
-If you cut transit service, this cookie will give you heartburn.
-In a tough economy, it's wise to invest in transit.
-Good luck in the new year. More aid from the state and the city.
-In hard times, it's unfair to balance the budget on the backs of riders
-Raising transit fares will wreak havoc on your love life.
-There's a fortune cookie right behind this one.
