The Atlantic-Pacific stop, which has about 10 million visitors each day in Brooklyn, is being bought off by a major English bank. It would be called Barclay’s Center after the bank’s name (Barclays) which would give the MTA $200,000 for the next 20 years. This is the step the MTA is taking to deal with the budget problems they are going through which passes $1 billion.
Whatever the case may be, this shit is whack. A couple of years ago we had this huge surplus and now since people can’t run it right they have a huge deficit to deal with and have to sell out a station that the public uses to a bank in order to save their ass.
