A day after vowing to defend the perks provided to MTA board members, real estate magnate David Mack has done a 180 and now says he'll support plans to end the free EZPasses and trips on buses and subways. David: Your first trip across the Triborough is on us! [Daily News]

More controversy at the MTA! The vice chair of the transporation agency, David Mack—Long Island real estate magnate, demi-billionaire, brother of Bill Mack—plans to challenge the agency's decision to take away his perks, namely the six E-ZPass tags that allow him to avoid paying for tolls or paying for the bus, subway or LIRR. In related MTA news, just in case you think that overseeing New York's hot, smelly subway system must be a lousy job, well, not so much. It turns out MTA chief Elliot Sander makes $350K a year and he worked out a bonus, too, even though the agency is talking about fare increases and service reductions.

Next time you see former MTA chair Peter Kalikow zipping around town in one of his four dozen Ferraris, take pride in the fact that little old you made his ride that much more pleasurable: It turns out that Kalikow and the other real estate fat cats who've served on the MTA's board are gifted taxpayer-funded E-ZPasses for life. Kalikow, whose outrageously huge Ferrari fleet includes custom-made numbers like the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti, has eight freebie E-ZPasses alone; MTA vice chair David Mack, another real estate bigshot, isn't doing too bad for himself either with six. How to know which luxury vehicles to glare at to express your distaste for this policy? The gratis E-ZPasses are a limited-edition orange as opposed to the standard-issue white.
