I'm not a big GGW fan, but this explains it pretty well. Not every station pair is a perfect comparison, but most American heavy rail systems aren't taking you 15-25 miles away from the center of town. The reality is that distance based fares are the fairest way to charge people for public transit (and road use in general), since you only pay for what you use and those who use more contribute more. |
