Any fare increase has an expected loss of ridership written into the projected revenue goal. There will always be a percentage of people who will just say "screw that" and drive.Of course. But it would be a small %. As for the subway transfer, the current version of that has also failed over time. Those who could save time by going to the GW Bridge terminal and taking the A to midtown have been ditching that choice for decades... to the point where no remaining NJT route to GWB has express service during rush hour.Was that actually faster? How much faster? It'd have to have been a heck of a lot faster than a bus to the PABT for people to want to board an already somewhat crowded A train for the long ride to midtown. |
