What makes you think this was personal? I am not affected by the extra fare these people are required to pay. The fact is that a long-standing policy of over 70 years was changed which unfairly affects probably a small number of people and does not significantly impact the MTA's bottom line.As far as financially sound, no route is financially sound since they all lose money except for maybe one or two routes. The supposedly eliminated the worst performers, but there was much fault in their methodology, so the least harm was not necessarily done to the least numbers of people. The issue of fairness still remains. You should not have to pay more to take a more inconvenient trip which will take you longer and require additional vehicles. Cutting the routes was punishment enough for theses people. It should not be compounded with paying more for the privilege. |
