Yes you save money by driving more people away from the system. There is elasticity which the MTA refuses to believe. People have choices. Car Service, walking, not making the trip at all. Look how car services have grown.

Efficiency shouldn't be their only goal. The most efficient bus services are operated in South America where all of the buses are crowded all of the times. You can wait hours just to find one you can cram onto. Some people just give up and never make it to work. Is that what the MTA is trying to do here? They must balance efficiency with effectiveness of the system. They exist to provide a service and should be encouraging the use of mass transit not discouraging it.
