Hasn't the state also been directly taking money meant for mass transit in general for years?

Lol no. The State through various schemes has been propping up the MTA for years. The bridges and tunnels (rightly) subsidize the mass transit. The state also imposed an additional sales tax for people 100 miles away to raise more revenue.

The MTA’s woes are death from a thousand cuts.
