He failed to understand that 97% of SEPTA passengers did NOT ride thru. He is concerned only with routing trains, not passengers, and too theoretical to comprehend how OTP suffers when delays magnify from one line and out to another.He was pontificating at the NARP member meeting in Philly last spring, saying NY has 3 "dead end systems" and they should all run thru. He said when he goes to "Long Island", he must spend a half hour "figuring out the other system" and buy a ticket at NYPS. Gee, I have made transfers with 90 seconds to spare. The only thing that hold me back now is that fucking 14 day expiration on MTA tickets, so I can't buy them in advance. (I admit there should be thru ticketing however. Appending LIRR's 8 fare zones onto NJT's should not be that difficult). I would think a publish/perish Professor would figure it out before embarking on such a voyage. I also think he is equally predisposed to being taken to wherever the "thru" train leaves him, like Sayville, Smithtown, or Ronkonkoma, and he can expense a $30 taxi ride to take him to whichever he was originally headed. |
