New York Gov. Kathy Hochul appeared to cast doubt on New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani’s vision for free buses.

Hochul, speaking at the Somos Conference in Puerto Rico, said, “We’re spending a lot of money, so I cannot set forth a plan right now that takes money out of a system that relies on the fares of the buses and the subways,” according to the New York Post.

The newspaper said Hochul made the remark in reference to funds the state has provided to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority — which runs New York City’s bus system — for major projects.

“But can we find a path to make it more affordable for people who need help? Of course we can,” Hochul reportedly added Saturday.
