The Daily News follows up on the MTA's absorption of the private bus lines, and finds that the city is spending more money that it initially said it would to help the agency handle the costs. New York had initially committed to spending $150 million yearly, but the News say that for the fiscal year ending June 30, that bill increased to $234 million as costs soared. Still, service has improved, with scores of news buses replacing creaky ones.
