Posted by BusMgr on Mon Nov 23 15:19:09 2015, in response to Transit advocates to propose free LaGuardia shuttle bus, posted by JAzumah on Mon Nov 23 09:13:06 2015. The question is whether or not the bus would actually be "free." To the extent that a no-fare Q70 simply moves the point of fare payment from the bus to the subway station, then there is no free lunch. What needs to be looked at is how many fares would actually be lost by removing fareboxes. Presumably, that would include passengers transferring to and from the LIRR, those people going to and from the airport who live or work in Woodside or Jackson Heights, and those people who transfer to an automobile at Woodside or Jackson Heights (being picked up or dropped off by a friend, family members, or commercial car service). |
