Opponents say a House proposal to cut federal funding for public transit could lead to higher MTA fares for the city?s straphangers.
New York could lose almost $2 billion in transit funding if the proposal, drafted by House Republicans, becomes law.

House Republicans are expected to bring the bill up for a vote in the coming days.
