Posted by checkmatechamp13 on Mon Dec 1 03:03:12 2014, in response to Re: (Op-ed) Express bus fare should be lower, posted by R30A on Sun Nov 30 22:01:02 2014. Like I said, by that logic, we should eliminate most of the local routes on Staten Island as well. But not just that, we should eliminate a bunch of local routes out in eastern Queens and the eastern Bronx (Bx8, Q16, Q84, etc).And by that logic, all suburban transit agencies should eliminate most of their service too, since most routes have less than a 50% farebox recovery ratio. Not to mention the LIRR & MNRR have comparable farebox recovery ratios. For the LIRR, it was at 44% at the time of the service reductions. By the way, we're using the total cost, rather than the marginal cost (which is the figure in the first column). The total cost is mostly fixed costs that remain the same regardless of how much service you run. |
