While the original plan for the IND was to have it compete with the private companies, by the time IND construction was started, Hylan was no longer mayor and the attitude toward the privates eased to the point that the BMT was actually offered the new lines to operate. The BMT refused to operate them at the current 5 cent fare which the city would not allow to be raised, so the city ended up becoming a transit operator. At that point with unification also not to far in the distant future, the mood was now to complement the existing lines rather than compete. |
