They aren't that good over there.You're right. I'll remember that we're better when I'm standing in the cold like an idiot at some NJT, MNRR, or LIRR station to ride in some poorly designed and/or noisy rolling stock that underperforms compared to their German counterpart. And the only purpose of fare integration is data mining the citizens. I'd love to know how data mining works in a system with paper tickets, especially in a country so averse to data collection of its citizens, it's too afraid to do an actual census. As others have pointed out, the purpose of fare integration is to leverage the existing network to allow the rider to use the best way and combination of modes to get from one place to another. Whether it be by bus, tram, U-Bahn, S-Bahn, or Regio, the rider is given ample opportunities to maximize the transit system and minimize their travel time which makes transit far more attractive to both regular and occasional travellers. |
