Description

The Pink Tax—it's basically gender-based price discrimination that sees a surcharge on products marketed specifically to women—like those beautifully frilly pink razors. Now comes a new report that women also pay more for transportation in the city. This Pink Tax amounts to hundreds of dollars per year for women, according to the study. To tell us more about it and what, if anything, is being done to counter it, we're joined by two of the report's authors and researchers with NYU's Rudin Center for Transportation, Gloria Campbell and Christopher Polack. Plus, Aaron Gordon, freelance journalist and author of the newsletter Signal Problems phones in to talk about fare evaders on MTA buses and subways—and how much they're costing the MTA every year.
