Thanks, John. This data makes clear how irrelevant the political subdivisions are in this debate. IIRC The A 207th to Far Rock is circa 32 miles and the 2 from E241st to New lot is not much shorter.I Don't consider it irrelevant the fact that WMATA serves an area of 1,500 square miles compared to NYCT 468.9. The sliding scale fares exist partly because the member jurisdictions subsidize public transit at different percentages. John in the sand box of Maryland's eastern shore. |
