Posted by Stephen Bauman on Thu Sep 5 22:13:03 2019, in response to Re: Queens Bus Network Redesign: Existing Conditions Report, posted by JAzumah on Wed Sep 4 08:39:53 2019. $6.75 is too high. The fare should be $5.50 during peak hours and $4.00 off-peak. The subsidy would drop like a stone.Here's why I think that's wishful thinking. The operating cost per unlinked passenger trip is $6.75 + $11.79 or 18.54. This could be covered by a $18.54 fare or 2.75 times more passengers paying $6.75. The per passenger cost would still be $18.54, if the fare were $5.50. However, 3.37 times more passengers would be required to make operating costs. Is there room on the bus for 2.75 or 3.37 times more passengers in each bus? If there is, they should not be operating them in the first place. |
