You certainly make a valid point there. I can admit when I'm [probably] wrong (again, I'd like to see the actual numbers, but your point is certainly valid). The other consideration is how the buses on the Q70 are used. Does the Q70 have its own assigned fleet? If not, then you'd have to install the technology on all of the buses at any garage servicing the Q70. What is the cost of installation per bus vs the cost per installation of each MVM (or SBS machine).And the installation and maintenance of passenger counters vs MVMs is still only a piece of the bigger problem. Is making the service free going to bring in enough riders to cover the cost of losing that 15% of revenue AND the cost of any additional service needed to handle the extra ridership? |
