But I've never understood a rationale for imposing a extra fee for a standard transfer in the first place. The passenger who does not have the benefit of a single route connecting origin and destination, and who must transfer to complete such travel, does not receive a benefit. Transfers are an inconvenience, and to impose an additional charge on top simply does not make good policy sense.There is a case for a nominal transfer fee--perhaps 5 or 10 cents, but certainly no more than 25 cents--to discourage the taking of unnecessary transfers for resale to others . . . but even that is unnecessary when transfers are encoded onto retained fare media cards (such as MetroCard) . . . yet Chicago Transit Authority does so. |
