Hylan's main purposes, as stated above, were to put the private companies out of business an d to preserve the five cent fare. If the IND were built into undeveloped areas, there is no way it could turn a profit and maintain the five cent fare, ergo it was primarily built in the already developed areas with a ready made volume of passengers. |
