Ride any bus in Europe and you can see what prepaid fares and/or all door boarding can do to speed up a trip. As pointed out elsewhere, 90 seconds on a 20 minute one way trip is not insignificant over the course of a day.As long as the cost and maintenance of the machines, as well as fare evasion, are less than the cost of collecting each and every fare, the honor system is justified from a financial standpoint. Don't forget that some of your $2.75 covers the cost of getting your payment in the first place, that adds up as well. There isn't blind trust in the MTA, there is a recognition of what works elsewhere and ought to work in NYC as well. It is common sense. |
