Well, theoretically yes.It is like SIR. The cost of fare collection, either by rebuilding almost every station to be closed with fare control, or done onboard, exceeds fare revenue foregone - bottom-line is better off this way, and they know some percentage or riders will get their MC swiped anyway on a connecting on SI bus or a subway at South Ferry. So again, all we would do with the Q70 is move he fare collection point to a subway station. Technology can count passengers boarding through all the doors, then allocate that much revenue from turnstile counts, or split 50/50 with the subway operations. Line and mode specific fare box recovery in NY is irrelevant. |
