By comparison, the average local route had a weekday farebox recovery ratio of 79.2% for NYCT and 81.5% for MTA Bus.The really shocking bit was that these routes were losing money:
These routes — often high-ridership ones — should all have been making a small profit. If they had, the local buses system-wide would not have been losing money. They were the financial black hole, however fun it was to laugh at the S60 and the Q79. The express beese and the railroads are a different problem. With the local buses, it was clearly a case for a fare hike (and generally not service cuts); this isn't true for systems with high fares and nowhere near 100% farebox recovery. |
