Posted by checkmatechamp13 on Mon Jul 2 17:15:17 2012, in response to Re: S44 bus in Staten Island has highest fare-evasion rate of all routes surveyed by the MTA, posted by LRG5784 on Mon Jul 2 15:00:25 2012. Technically, the S44 also passes through 2 housing projects: Richmond Terrace & Cassidy-Lafayette. (Of course, Cassidy-Lafayette is a seniors-only project. LOL)In any case, I have a hard time believing the S44 gets more farebeaters than the S46 (just based on experience alone). Especially considering the following lines in this article: "The line, running between the St. George Ferry Terminal and the Staten Island Mall, has the highest fare-evasion rate of all routes surveyed by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, a knowledgeable transit source tells me." "But the average rate of fare evasion for all routes covering Staten Island is nearly 20% — higher than those in all other boroughs, another transit source said." "The source wouldn’t specify the percentage of S44 riders who were observed boarding without paying in the MTA’s most recent round of surveys." I have a feeling the "source" is that stupid survey taken by the SI Advance, but they know it's a stupid source, so that's why they don't want to specify it. I have a hard time believing it's also higher on SI than The Bronx. |
