The reason is obvious: The Republicans agree with the decision.<\/p>\n<p><em>Alan Podhaizer<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Brooklyn<\/em><\/p>\n<p>A possible solution to the polarizing mask issue on public transportation would be to have both \u201cmasked\u201d and \u201cunmasked\u201d cars on trains (or buses dedicated to one or the other).
